Default T206 colors missing scraps versus issued cards

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

I am not old enough to have acquired T-cards back in 1910 (although
some on this Forum consider me a "dinosaur"). However, as a kid who
bought 5 cent Gum packs in the 1949 (both Bowmans and Leafs), I did
open up packs which had cards with color errors. In fact, I still have
some of them.

The same 4 - color printing process that was used to print T-cards (1909-
1916) was the same as it was in 1949. Therefore, based on this fact, I
would not be surprised if T206 color errors (factory cut to size) were
inserted in Tobacco packs. And, indeed I think we have seen factory-cut
errors posted on this Forum.
