Desirable miscuts

[JollyElm]

A couple of cool rookie cards.

It's a shame I didn't ask SGC to only give an "AUTH" to the Brett, but I just assumed they would...instead of number grading it (the stupid 1 is based solely on the obvious miscut, as there is nothing else wrong with it whatsoever). Yikes!!

Having learned my lesson, I attached a note to the Bench to ensure it rightfully only got the "AUTH"...

Nice

Just to show you all they knew how to get things poorly done back in the prewar era as well.

I collected miscuts (mostly T206 backs) for a time, but haven't bought any recently. My prize possessions in that category are these backs, which are all upside down and have parts of four Piedmont backs. I believe eight are known to exist, though that was a number from 10+ years ago, so more may have been found...

I've owned many T206 miscuts over the years, really fun (rare & desirable) category. I know some great collectors who will likely post more in this thread...In the meantime, here's a few I currently own...

[scooter729]

I had the Doolan to start, and was thrilled when I was able to have Cy join him in my collection to keep him company. They're sticking with me for a while!

[BRoberts]

Tremendous *drastic* miscuts. So rare and desirable.

[Bliggity]

One of my favorites -

[z28jd]

A more modern miscut than my usual pre-war variety. Saw this for about $5 and couldn't pass on it. Has parts of three cards. The Angels player is Ken Berry

[G1911]

One of my favorite miscut duos

[MR RAREBACK]

Nice stuff so far

I love print freaks.

From the Satchel Paige school (don't look back, something might be gaining):



Diamond Dogs:




Missed it by that much:











Sideshow Bobs:





And because why not, a wrong back; when wrong feels so right:

If I were to establish a prewar miscut set hall of fame, the inaugural inductees would be the E220 National Caramel, T201 Doublefolder, 1941 Goudey, and T206 sets. Here are examples from each set. My T206 is a fairly minor miscut...donations to the Miscut Hall of Fame are always welcome.

One set that doesn't make the miscut is the 1933 Goudey set. I would like to see another one besides my O'Doul that is more than just a little off-center.

Adding some postwar casualties to the gumbo. It seems 1971 was a banner year for miscuts.

Nice 1971aaron

I think it’s a sliver of Hughie Jennings on the left:


I think this one has a sliver of Bescher, but it could also possibly be Zimmerman:

Great miscuts folks!

Some more T201 miscuts. The other side of the Joe Lake is printed properly, oddly enough. Mecca's other issued sets are cut pretty well and difficult to find miscut, but this was certainly a more complicated production. The Lake/Wallace oddity is one of my favorite pre-war cards.

That miscut Lake/Wallace is about as cool as a miscut card can be. It might even be cooler than my mystery what in the heck is it E94-like McGraw.

gotta love miscuts (or not)

[JollyElm]

Luscious eye candy to me, yucky eye swill to others...

[frohme]

Couple of miscut fronts that show both horizontal and vertical orientation on the same sheet
 

 


 
and a couple of back miscuts:
 
one showing the same horizontal/vertical layout, and parts of 5 backs...
 

 
and one not in the same sheet location, though multiples of Reulbach with a miscut like this are known.

I think I'd take the E94-like McGraw! I love the cards where it's something of a mystery of what they even are, a piece of a puzzle to which we have no picture of it completed. Thankfully in boxing land, those kind of unique cards only cost me $50 or so. Much easier on my wallet

[G1911]

The best miscuts are those that provide new evidentiary material to learn from. This T218-1 miscut was a surprising find that showed at least some sheets had cards printed upside down relative to other rows. A strange choice. This sheet was probably printed at Brett Lithography. As far as I am aware, it is still the only upside down cut of any T218. I had expected there were 2 sheets of 25 unique subjects in a block printing format, with a separate adjunct sheet with only Jack Johnson's on it.

[Rad_Hazard]

My only heavily misprinted card.

[Leon]

I have always liked miscuts. I don't think this one was sold when my first collection was...

[ValKehl]

Wow, Steve, your T215 Pirate of Meyers is one heck of a miscut!

[z28jd]

I bought a lot of 47 miscut cards from 1975-86 about 7-8 years ago and haven’t looked through them in a long time. I thought they were all back miscuts, but I just saw the stack and found these while looking through them

[MR RAREBACK]

That Ty Cobb is on my list as a dream card

Cracker jack!
