New Addition to the Scrap family Circus

[frankbmd]

Johnny,

I am very concerned about the health of your collection. The number of sick cards in your infirmary is staggering. Is recovery possible or are they all doomed?

Scrap men rule!!

What a piece of scrap!

Who knew this phrase would someday be a compliment . . .

[drazz5]

anyone care to inform me of what exactly a "scrap" card is?

[Sean]

A scrap card is a card that, perhaps due to a printing flaw, was intended to be thrown away rather than distributed. They were taken home by the printers, who cut them by hand and gave them to their kids.
In the T206 set, all Brown Old Mill and all Blank backs are scrap. Also, many of the cards that are missing colors are scrap, including (I believe) a Wagner and two Planks.
Johhny has made a career of collecting such cards, and can explain this better than I can.
If you are interested, go to ebay and type in "T206 yellow." Dan McKee (a board member) has a huge set of missing color scraps that you can look at. Also, at T206Resource.Com there is a good article by Scott Forrest (another board member) on this subject.

OMG! I posted this morning half asleep! Your Matty Proof is one of my all time fav cards(next to your multi strike!)....I don't believe your being "bias" to your cards, THEY ARE INSANE! and deserve the high ranking on my SCRAPS list...I was literally half asleep when I typed that..I LOVE THE MATTY PROOF..When I was driving to work, I thought I had the Matty down as 3rd on my list sorry my friend, that card has a "life" of it's own.......besides Collins and Wags strip, it's the only other HOFER proof that I know of.....btw....WHERE did the remaining 80 or so other proofs go???? I may start a thread about this.....I have been pondering this for years....I know collectors sucked them up in the 70's, but how come very few have surfaced????hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....things that make you go hmmmmmmmm......

I will think about rankings/scraps some more(this is so neat to me)...

Daniel, YOU will love scraps....they are like "snowflakes" and many are unique unto themselves, extremely rare and ....even the similar ones are different than each other.....email me whenever you want....i'll show you my "circus" as Andy G coined it



Jantz....Chance is hanging out with Starr....call me my friend.....
