T206 back question
 

I just purchased a pretty sizeable lot of T206 cards, PSA graded. Making my way through them all, and saw this on the odd cover up on the factory line. I am pretty new to pre war but in all my research, I haven't seen anything like this. The card is a PSA 3 with no qualifiers. Is this just an overprint? A pen mark?

Where's my friend Johnny? Any idea, bud? :)

I'd say you got something good there!!!

Guess
 

My guess is a pen mark covering the factory information. The mark does not look printed due to the wave....

Johnny, Chris, Steve B. ???

yep, pen mark.

Steve B

Since it is not the same color as the rest of the back I would say it is not from the factory. Not 100% but didn't someone alter a few of these to make them similar to the real Sweet Caporal overprints?

Thanks for the feedback. Here is a more extreme close up. With the naked eye it doesn't look manmade due to a really sort of straightness along the top. But magnified it looks like pen. But surprised PSA didn't give out an MK..it's not like it's a nicer card knocked down to a 3 due to "no qualifiers." http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a4bc38b472.jpg

Carl.....
 

just saw your post!!:)


1000% pen mark unfortunately:mad:

but keep searching my friend! call me:)

Okay! Wasn't expecting much but thought I'd ask the experts. Another fine job from PSA! :) Thanks everyone. Johnny, will be in touch!

Johnny you're the king of freaks, good call.

I don't like the flow.

It looks slowly drawn, not to mention jagged.

It may well be a pen mark, but I doubt its authenticity.

Was this card purchased from Coaches Corner?

Thanks
 

Gee, Chris...thanks for the kudos

No, Frank, but I love the weaving together of my evening comments. :) It was part of a T206 collection I purchased, that was mostly commons but had a few nice SLers and a handful of HOFers...I am still going through them all but when the dust settles my Monster # should be considerably higher than it is currently reported.
