T206 Buyers Beware

I originally thought the same. However, two factors have convinced me that this Ryan card is a No-Caption.

The card is over-sized (top-to-bottom)

And, I have had several others who have seen it, and agree it's ca[tion is missing.

Hey guy, if you are at the National in Baltimore this summer, you are welcome to check it out.

Ted,

With your years of handling thousands of T206 cards, can you recall ever seeing the caption missing and a full bottom border? I'll defer to your expertise on the Ryan card, but as Scott mentioned, it is a mighty small bottom border. I would love to see it in-hand, perhaps one day.

In my mind, the next step is to look for a T206 card with the bottom brown name shifted in one direction but the brown in the image not shifted. Does a card like that exist???

Lovely Day...

Sounds good - I have every intention of being there. I'll pick up a Ryan with good registration and bring my magnifier.

The card being oversized isn't proof of a no name strike. It is more likely that the card was in the top row of the sheet. It then could have been miscut yielding a oversized card with large top border and small bottom border. Iggy's side by side illustrates that the name caption could have been below the cut.
