Congrats to the winner on a great pickup.

Josh

I was wondering if it would slip through because it was a late addition so it wasn't in the catalog besides a quick mention in the back, but without pictures. It did well, but I think the winner got a good deal based off some previous prices realized.

Here's an eclectic group of "bad" cards (misprints, miscuts, etc.) that have been popular with collectors since I started collecting (since the 1970's).
So, nothing new with this type of collecting interest.....it's been around for a long time and will continue as long as this hobby does.


Circa 1888 color misprint (missing blue ink).




Misprint back (Collins) and miscut front (Titus / Smith)
.



Puttman proof and some T206's







1949 LEAF's ......Wrong back (Gordon / Feller) and "crazy" looking Billy Johnson

Sean -- I think SGC just wasn't grading with numbers these types of miscuts back then as they do now. Clearly the card isn't hand cut.

This Type-2 makes me think the sheets were setup different from T206s, Doyle appears closer to his neighbour then Murray (not my card) does.

Not prewar baseball but interesting.

[Exhibitman]

[z28jd]

Sort of pre-war

[Leon]

Interesting holder for a blank back.....

Interesting-I wonder if there are any Type-1 frontal miscuts out there?

I like how since this topic came up the # of them in the B/S/T section has greatly increased. I need to start a thread on low end beat up T210's selling really cheap.LOL

Just added this very tuff 4-back Polar Bear to my miscut collection. Thanks Johnny! Updated grid below...(thanks Chris!)

[mrvster]

polar bear is sick! you deserve it

[Rich Klein]

actually, we are just following stamps and coins in recognizing these types of printing issues. It's a normal evolution.

[buymycards]

Hi Frank, I have to agree with you. In my eyes, a severe miscut means the value of a $30 low grade common drops to five bucks.

Shows you what I know!

Is perhaps indicative of the boredom inherent to collecting T206s. Each to his own.

Hi Ken
I agree with and got a good chuckle outta your comment!
Best to you & the NATS for 2014,
Val

[mrvster]

about those beauties mike!

[Texxxx]

Being collectors we all love to have rare pieces that are one of a kind. Something that no one else in the world has. No two print freaks are the same so if you own one then you have a one of one. Then again everyone has different taste in collecting. I don't see the attraction in collecting paper clips but someone does.

[Leon]

My first PX7 miscut....(these are both the same size otherwise, scans aren't that great)

[atx840]

Great miscut run Michael!

[EvilKing00]

Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria

[bnorth]

Got this nice Nolan Ryan miscut in the mail today.

+1 That Polar Bear miscut is awesome Michael!! Congrats!! Beautiful pick up!!

Sincerely, Clayton

[MVSNYC]

Thanks Chris, Johnny & Clayton! you all were a big help.

[Wildfireschulte]

I found this Clarke portrait with a streaked background in my stash. Its a pretty clean card with no creases or scratches. Could the stripe effect happened during printing? Would this be a rarity? I appreciate insight from the experts.

[freakhappy]

Wildfire,

You have the rare "rain" version of the Clarke portrait...consider yourself a lucky man

[Wildfireschulte]

Cool - anyone have an idea the rarity here or of any recent sales? Thanks for the help.

[MVSNYC]

I think he was teasing.

[sb1]

Here are just a couple from our upcoming Feb/March auction.

[mrvster]

sweet miscuts!

wildfire-

Clarke is an odd one you have there......id have to see it in person, but it may be a print anomaly, may not.....unfortunately, this type of error, if it is a print anomaly, would prob not carry a big premium(unless a collector finds interest).....more off an oddball type ....if it was missing the color/ different color/ half color/ ect/ ect, would carry a bigger premuim

hope this helps

peace

I'm guessing that's a sliver of Collins on the left?

I concur...and this is one time I wish we didn't have the consignment. That thing has my name on it...

[Jaybird]

[oldcardboard]

Collins indeed, very cool card. I gathered some "freaks" at shows back in the mid-late 80's till early 90's. Then wondered why I had bought them, lol. Been doing pre war portraits since. It may be time to reap the benefits and help with my other sets.

[mrvster]

did you pick up any T206 scraps/freaks?? can you post some if you have 'em??

[Gemruss]

I sold most of my childhood collection while in college (around 1980) but for some reason I kept these. I still remember opening the packs that I found these in.

Working out of town on a big job. [underwater welder], and hope to have our commitment done by mid feb. I will have 5 weeks off after that, and can get some work done in that area. Jeff

Edit: Yes, not all were t206, but a handful are.

please delete "but a handful are" from your post!

Are you trying to give Johnny a heart attack?

Jason, thanks for the image.
