What's Up With Rube Geyer?
I've been looking for another one of these for awhile and haven't seen one. Check out the left shoulder of Rube Geyer here. This card is on Ebay right now. The graded one is mine that I bought sometime in 2013. Any ideas on this?

It looks like a Sweet Cap wet sheet transfer b/c the pattern on border edges perfectly matches up with a Sweet Cap back. However, the large red circle on his chest doesn't quite fit with that because it is in the wrong spot for the large writing on a SC back.

Plus, mine is the same spot and a Piedmont back. I thought maybe mine was just a stamp since I couldn't find any others, but he's another example in the same spot and a different back

Well, now the cat's out of the bag.
I've been collecting these for years and discussing various theories with Ted Z. It is not a Sweet Cap 'C' and we have each shot holes in each other's theories every single time. I didn't want to post anything until I had an answer, and you can imagine, with my big mouth, how tough it's been to keep mum, but I managed !!!! …still no answer. John - when I get some time I'll post all of the examples I've found and describe what they each have in common. I think my file has five or six, but I only looked actively for a few months. They are not all that uncommon, but they ARE a mystery that we 'need' to solve.

Thanks Scott. I don't think it's something that will add value, although I could be wrong, but I wasn't hiding my example to try to get more. I honestly thought it could have been a stamp that the graders missed, because I couldn't find any other examples back in 2013 when I got it. That, and it doesn't look like anything in particular. It's definitely an odd mark.

I don't have a clue as to what that stain is...but, I will warn you against that dealer...no one's prices are higher...he does offer a small discount on sales off his website, however, so, if you must, go there to make your purchase.
