T206 Oakes "White Team Letters"

[sreader3]

Hi All,

I am gauging interest in the below depicted T206 Oakes “White Team Letters” card. This particular card has never been offered to the hobby advertised as such. The white team letters are a byproduct of the red ink layer having been completely missed.

The card is what I would call a “freak cubed.” First, instead of the bold red “CINCINNATI” that we all are accustomed to seeing on Oakes’ jersey, this card has SNOWY WHITE team letters. There is no residual pink tint that is sometimes seen on missing red ink specimens. Second, this card has a near mint appearance (having been downgraded to PSA 4 due to back staining) which distinguishes it from the typically lower grade missing red ink examples that appear at auction every once in a while. Third, Oakes is a T206 subject that hardly ever seen missing red ink.

I have juxtaposed the “White Team Letters” Oakes with the common “Red Team Letters” Oakes for comparison.

Feel free to PM any serious offers.

Thanks.

Scot
