t206 plates?
 

Posted By: <b>deric</b><p>i've been collecting t206 cards for about 3 years, i hear about broken plates, uncut sheets, ect... are the cards lithiographs, has anyone ever seen the plates? i been noticing cards or photos where the artist got the image, but to have a plate would be very rare and valuable. just curious, i love that era and have been collecting photos longer than the cards. any thoughts? thanks

The unlicensed use of the player's likeness, the player's desire for more than nominal compensation, THAT is what caused some players to have their card printing curtailed.
