T206 Miscut

[Archive]

Posted By: Damian

I recently acquired this card on ebay. As I hope you can see from the scan the card is miscut with the bottom portion of "Bergen, Brooklyn" appearing at the top of the card. I know that severe miscuts can can carry a heavy premium in value. My question is this one severe enough to be more desirable or is it just miscut?

Thanks.

...premium associated with this slight miscut.



What you want on the front is part of the image itself at the top and bottom, or left and right. Same with the back.

this type of miscut is fairly common - but I believe (after talking to some collectors that seek such cards) that there are some buyers who will pay a bit more for them.

I think I put it up on the bay and see what it brings.

I always thought these weren't worth as much as a card with proper cut.

not the grade on the card holder.

Like it or not there is a burgeoning market for error cards from the early days as people who have been shut out of collecting other forms of rare cards due to price are discovering these cards. Really severe printing and cutting flaw cards are reaching into four figures as people recognize how unusual they are and respond accordingly. Who's to say that a T206 with a severe miscut or a ghost print isn't as desirable as a high grade common. Personally, I'd rather own that extremely miscut Camnitz that sold recently than any PSA 8 T206 common.

Here's one of mine that is OC on the back. This is right side up, though. At least I think so, I only have pics here, not the card.

This is Southern Leager Viola(t), I posted the front in another thread a few days ago.
