Even pics of another example contribute.

There's a lot more to figure out past the sheet layout.

The scratches can be more obvious or less even for the same card. So the plate -if it was a stone could have been resurfaced when it wore out and the scratches partly polished off. (I think it's possible, and some of the same scratches may have survived faintly into the 350 series.

Combined with front differences that might eventually lead to understanding print runs within the currently accepted ones.

While there's no real premium right now, I think eventually - like maybe 20 years from now. There will be an ability to sort of super specialize, and some fronts with the scratch may be much tougher than others. And if the scratch happened very late in production any scratch may prove to be fairly tough compared to a card without it.
It's just way too early to tell.

Thanks for the info. Im fairly new to t206s and prewar cards so any info for me is great. I will keep my eye out for these and update if i come across any

Thanks - yeah i bought it late in the day and submitted at the show. Picked it up just as dealers were packing up. Didnt expect to add another cobb but was happy about this pick up. Really thought i would get a 2 on this but can't complain

Schulte, not huge but it is there on the lower left

Another Three Finger, same pose, different scratch

Not sure if this counts but was looking thru my cards and saw a possible scratch. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...4696c689b5.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...89f65f4bdf.jpg

Just noticed my new Waddell Throwing has a scratch:

Found a nice card today with a big plate scratch, a P150 of "Turkey Mike" Donlin.

Hope this helps the cause in some way or another:

Fred, nice Donlin, with or without the scratches. :)
