Does anybody on here now have my old Frank Baker missing blue?

I bought a brown/yellow scrap Baker 6 or 7 years ago. Is that yours?
I'm sorry I can't post scans, but my computer is down, so I'm posting from work, and I don't have access to scans.

What's at the top of the list when it comes to these types of T206 cards? What do error/misprint collectors value the most? Printer's scrap? Misalignments? Overprints and ghost prints? Blank backs?

Also, where does something like this card fall? It's misprinted on the back (misaligned with two different factory overprints).

How much is something like this worth? Does the player on the front matter, in terms of value, these days?

Could be! Please post scans! Cool...

Oh... The one posted above looks like it! Does it have a pencil erasure? Somebody had written "1B" on it, and I gently erased it with an art eraser.

you are becoming the master also thanx

When I think of "unique" and "rare" T206 cards, it's the scraps/freaks/miscuts/ double&triple and multi back print, etc. That's why they are and probably will continue to spike in price. And, if the prices weren't so high, way more collectors would be going after them.

If you can't afford a Magie/Wagner/Plank/Doyle Nat'l, and want rarity in your collection-this is where you end up. Or, go for tough front/back combinations.

The supply is limited, the cards are unique and rare, and I still don't think they have topped out yet.

As far as other sets, I would surely look at the freaks/miscuts/scraps/etc. the exact same way, if I collected those sets. The E92 shown earlier in the thread would be way more desireable(to me) than the regular one with no flaws, if I collected that set. That's just my take on it.

Sincerely, Clayton

The Baker that Chris posted is mine (thanks Chris). Is that your old card?
I don't see any erasure on it, but there is some paper loss on the back.
It's graded PSA 1 for some reason. I thought this type of scrap is always graded authentic ? Was it graded when you owned it ?

I think when you were testing your scanner this was sent my way. It's an odd one, doesn't appear to be handcut or missing the same layers as the yellow/browns. Possibly its faded/chemical...not sure...still a great card.

[T206Collector]

The Baker above is missing the blue ink pass in the printing process. There was a "1B" written just to the left of the name, and in the top area, I think you can see some erased script text.

[Sean]

I can definitely see a small mark in front of Baker. Can't tell if it said 1B, but it could have. I don't see other marking, but I will look closer when I get home.

[Sean]

I've looked closer and still don't see an erasure at the top, but clearly something was erased in front of the name. Even the "B" in Baker is partly erased. This must be your "missing blue" card. It does have more color than a yellow/brown scrap, but seems to have missed most of the blue pass. And it appears machine cut, unlike scrap cards.

This is why I love Net54. So far:
You guys explained why this is not a scrap like I thought;
Johhny told me that my Tinker/ Sovereign wet sheet transfer wasn't a WST, and Tim and Ron Kornacki explained that it was a cylander transfer;
Chris, Tim and another member whom I've forgotten (sorry ) told me how my Plank was missing the dark blue pass, and that it wasn't really the sister card to the white Plank, as my card was from a print run at Factory 30 and Whitey was printed in Factory 25.

This kind of stuff is the reason that I joined Net54. Well, this and also so that I can score big with the ladies.

Thanks guys.
