Man, I don't know what you guys see in these cards. To me they are hard to look at, like disfigured children or something.

Cards like this should get some love, too, no? Personally, I love them because they are different.

To each their own, of course.

EDITED TO ADD: you need to quit posting so often.

Johnny,

I couldn't agree more.

BTW...my transformation to the Dark Side is nearly complete. I find myself searching the bay (and the BST) for these "misfits" more and more each day.

Guess I am addicted to the outliers of the T206 set. Frankly, I didn't see it coming; however, I do like the oddball cards.

Out of curiosity, are the Piedmont 150 series cards more likely to contain color shifts, print errors, etc? I only ask because you are the resident expert on these matters and I am looking to delve deeper into the "freaks" of T206.

Please let me know. Hope all is well.

Best regards,

Eric

Yes!! That's how it starts....you look for little ones at first....then it only snowballs! regular T206 start to look "strange" and the freaks take on a new beauty....

it's like a treasure hunt.....wait until one day you get a huge haul like a printer scrap

and yes, in the 150 series, there are more probabilities of the freaks from the early learning curve of the printers....

BTW....thanks for the kind words.....you have become a great poster and a great hunter! please email me with any questions on these beauties...

glad to have you in the community and look forward to your posts....

keep looking for that "Frank in the box"

Johnny,

Thank you very much. I appreciate your feedback.

Here's another T206 that I picked up which could be considered a bit of a "freak," due to the color shift.

Hope all is well.

Best regards,

Eric

I usually don't buy ungraded cards - but figured I could make an exception. Picked up this Griffith "missing I" card.
