Post-National surprise

[atx840]

Last year REA auctioned off a handcut Plank and a few other "scrap" cards from a find. REA likely assumed these were cut from two sheets(Piedmont 150 & 350) along with the Plank (at the time all Plank Piedmont 150s were handcut)

The Lake example from the 2012 REA auction has similar markings on the back as the previous years handcut lot (Manning), same find?, same consigner? It's likely REA made a similar assumption on being handcut from a sheet. Secondly a few of the cards show signs of missing an ink layer which along with being handcut would suggest it is a printers scrap.

Nice score Jantz!

hmmm...it would seem to me that grouping a blank backed t206 with a group of hand cut(ie. trimmed) t206's would be a nice way to create value?!

All cards were cut from sheets. I don't see the value in the cards other than the blank backed card.

I agree...aside from color errors(missing, etc), printing hash marks, etc which may potentially lead to a determination of printers scrap...in my opinion a trimmed card is a trimmed card...no matter if it was trimmed by a pair of scissors 100 yrs ago...or yesterday.

I don't see how this can be differentiated once a card is standing alone?

I'm a little surprised that some of these have been sold in the past based on assumptions?

Very cool card, congrats!

Hey Jantz-

Great score !!! And I may be wrong, but it almost looks like that would've been the edge of the sheet- because there is so much border and we don't see (on the back) a miscut showing evidence of the card next to it. Awesome !!! Beautiful pick up !!!

Sincerely, Clayton

I certainly don't mean to downplay your acquisition...congrats! I just still don't understand how one tells the difference between a poorly cut(trimmed) t206...and a poorly cut(trimmed) scrap?
