Is the T206 P350 Schulte Scrap or Factory Cut?

Factory and either way not a big deal.

No choice for both?

Factory cut, and probably a scrap as well.

Borders are a tiny bit wavy but not enough to make me think it was handcut. There's some indenting towards the middle but that, and the creases, give me the impression the card was held together with some others using a rubber band.

Colors on the card look ok but I'm by no means a t206 expert. Is there a particular argument I should be considering on why this could be printer's scrap?

It's the only Schulte with a Piedmont 350 back that's known. There are other cards that are very difficult to find with a Piedmont 350 back as well, but multiple examples of all of them have been confirmed. Counting the Schulte there are 10 cards that are tough to find with a Piedmont 350 back. The Schulte differs from the other 9 since it has never been confirmed with an EPDG back. I can't speak for anyone else, but before seeing the card I questioned whether or not it was scrap. This may explain its scarcity and why there is no EPDG back as well. But after seeing the scan of the card I don't see anything the leads me to believe that it wasn't factory cut.

It's possible that one or more examples of the Schulte with a Piedmont 350 back will show up. It's a card that could easily go unnoticed in many collections. For the time being it's interesting to ponder this one.
