Question for W516 Collectors
I recently picked up a 1921 W516-2-1 Grover Alexander (Hand Cut, SGC Authentic), and I noticed something unusual about it. The background on this example is almost entirely black, unlike the typical colored backgrounds (red, green, blue, etc.) that I’ve seen on other W516 cards.
My question is: Were any W516 cards actually issued with all-black backgrounds, or is this more likely a print defect / over-inked sheet / toning issue? Has anyone else seen similar dark or black-background variations in the W516 set? Appreciate any insight or scans from fellow collectors for comparison.
