3 more silvers. The Randall/Belasco is one of the cards with a thin layer of the silver over the caption. It has proven awfully confusing to me how the names were actually printed in this series. Some cards they are printed as one might expect, a single printing of the name on top of the silver (though all other black on the card was printed only BEFORE the silver application). It is not particularly rare to find cards like this though, where there is definitely a thin layer of the silver over the name. If they ran the sheet, applied the silver metallic layer, then printed the captions on top, I would expect that we would find a not insignificant amount of cards showing a shifted caption from the sheet not being 100% perfectly centered every time they ran it. Yet, I've never found even 1 card like that.
The Dempsey is the closest I have come to a miscut T220 Silver; the back inner frame is tough the border, just a quarter mm from showing the adjacent card.
The Burke is just a Burke, but it's a great picture so I got him too.
