T206 "printer's mark" and sheet layouts
Just got this card in the mail today. I noticed the mark when I bid on the item (and full disclosure, I do plan on reselling it). The card measures about 1/32" wider than standard and the back is also mis-aligned (skewed right).
This mark appears to be a 'guide' line for cutting the sheet. The amount of space between the line and the back art is the exact width of a 'properly' centered and cut Piedmont. Can we assume that Arndt was on the far right of the sheet in the layout? Does anyone else have examples of these lines?

Others. Piedmont with other stuff on the back is Bresnahan, batting. The other one I think is Oldring, fielding. Not 100% sure, sorry about the miscuts in the scan, it is the bottom right of the Sweet Caporal back

Hi Er!ck
I follow these crop lines on T206s closely. Arndt is one of the usual suspects when it comes to these crop lines. There are a handful of other T206 player's cards that also occasionally display them too. Some even jump to different backs. By that I mean, I own an Arndt with a Sovereign 350 back that has crop line. So far I've seen these crop lines appear on the following backs. Sweet Cap. 150 Sweet Cap. 350 Piedmont 150 Piedmont 350 Polar Bear Sovereign 350 As far as individual players, I know of 15 different players in the set with crop lines.

crops.....
 hey guys as you know been chasing crops for years.....i own a few and they are cool novelties, johnnny d got me started on them when i missed his oldring .....ive paid $20- $150.00 for some.....they are more prevalent on some players as jantz has mentioned...i own a sweet ass polar bear one i love, never seen another polar bear, or other back for that matter....id love to see a hindu or something with a crop....but only seen pieds and caps i guess since they were the most common/printed ....theoretically all backs should have had them...stevethese are in the catagory/rarity of sheet numbers on sweet cap backs, altho the sheet numbers are a little tuf to come by ...the crops are traditionally found with the "L" shape right angle...prob corners of the sheets ....i own a few that are just lines, either guide marks/crop marks to align sheets, or got chopped off themselves...... i love when the pressman misses the mark and creats the sought after miscut backs... nonetheless, great thread, great little"gems" hidden in the set...i will try to find some of my scans, but im weak with that  and not sure if i have any great scans...ID love to see some MORE  Congrats on the card ERICK.....you are a true t206 "blood-hound" and, btw, i'm sure tons on this board would agree, one of the finest t206/ collectors/guys we have....your friendship and help like a few others i know is priceless bro! thanx for all your help, your a true friendpeace

Yes, I've seen a few of these crop marks. Since we're talking about Arndt, thought I'd show one I picked up recently from a fellow board member. In addition to the apparent missing color, there's a small green vertical printer's mark in the top left on the back.
