Opinions Please T206 Scrap or not??

Thanks Chris and Steve......

I ve been leaning toward scrap.....just need some convincing

I'm not thinking it's scrap, but it's a card that might simply have missed a brown color pass during the original print run. You see a lot of cards like that out of the t206 set.

As for that wavy edge, I'm wondering if that is due to the card being held together with a group of them by a rubber band?

I'd vote no, it's not a scrap. To me, it looks like a well used card a kid probably beat up over the years. Just my opinion.

I don't think that is scrap. Not even close.

This is such a toughie!

I was thinking rubber bands also.....when i received it, the back lead me more towards scrap....ironically, more than the front

I'm stumped on this one....making me want to post some of mine...

You just had to bring Street into this didn't you

Here's one for you....

Out of the cards you posted, I think that Camnitz has a solid shot at being scrap. Very wavy borders on the left and right side, both being cut at different angles, suggust an irregular cut - not just indentions from being wrapped up too tight in a rubber band. Plus, the back is blank which is a big giveaway too.

As for the Titus, it's not really a wavy border, just sort of "pushed in" in one spot. If you look close, you'll see a similar indention on the other border about in the same location on that side. That, plus the wrinkle across the middle just give me the impression the card was wrapped up too tight.

A miscut on the back doesn't mean a card would be printer's scrap. You see cards nicely centered on the front have goofy backs all the time.

All are nice cards though and interesting finds. Some of my very favorite cards in my collection are cards that are missing color passes during their original print runs that, as a result, leave the card looking entirely different than normal. Quite a few sets out there have misprints like this - d311, e98, t210, e94, etc...just to name a few.

Shammus,

Street, Abbott, and Camnitz are all 1000% scrap ...........absolutely no question....



Titus, just has scrap characteristics, but still maybe......

I eat, sleep, and breathe these things the last twelve years.....
