Steve,

Thanks for posting that. In a similar fashion, the ink used to print US Currency never completely dries. I took this $10 bill and piece of copy paper. After simply rubbing the bottom left corner of the sawbuck (front and back) across the page, it left clearly visible ink marks yet did not smudge the bill.

The black mark is from the front...the green mark is from the back. I realize the note is from 1934; however, believe it is old enough to warrant inclusion here...as a quick side note regarding inks from the early 20th Century.

Please know that I have almost no knowledge about printing. Spending a decade working in retail taught me a few tricks about spotting counterfeit money.

Best Regards,

Eric

Chris,

Thank you very much for posting these images. They look amazing.

And I do see your point regarding the overlay of Piedmont ad blue ink on top of the image transfer in the first picture.

A while ago I took a high res scan for board member, it does appear to be under the Piedmont ad and "printed" more so then a transfer from another sheet.

In the second one, I am not so sure.

Is it possible that these two cards were subjected to different print processes?

Best,

I'd like to say that it should not increase the value but I would pay a slight premium for a ghost of one of my favorite players. It is really pretty neat to see the ghost of Cy on a card. We are truly over the edge on finding variations to add value but it keeps things exciting.
