Those are AWESOME! I don't think anyone could argue that these are printer's scrap. You must of bought them together as a lot right?

Amazing.

I understand the meaning of "printer's scrap", but what are the theories as to how the scrap survived? Did someone rifle the rubbish bins outside the factory? Did Daddy, the printer, take them home for junior? Do we know?

Default Mike....
The fun of it is, NO ONE KNOWS

We can only theorize how they made it from the scrap pile to the public....adds to the mystic.......

My logical theory is that these cards were either picked out of the trash by kids/adults at that time and "cut" up when they got them home...or that the printers them selves brought the sheets/cut up cards home for their kids to p;ay with...

But if it were me being the printer, i would have chose these over the regular issues....


Btw Jamie,

IM JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



only kidding, i think i created a monster~!!!LOL

you deserve those cards my son....(if not me and chris)

peace

johnny

Johnny, it seems more likely to me that these particular scraps a printer brought home for kids. If these were ment for the trash, why not multi strike both sides? Keeping the player side clean seems like a move, by a printer, to keep the sheet, rather then toss... Maybe?

These are the only two possible options that I could come up with as well. I was just curious as to if there was any documentation one way or another....
