What is a scrap? Please explain.

[edjs]

Since someone asked for scrap from other sets, I posted my Obak, and wanted to post this, but didn't have the scan on my home computer. Here's an E98 (yes, the image is really Irv, not Cy). Anyone else got E98 scrap? To answer the question, I have no idea if scrap from other sets carry any premium, but I guarantee if there is it is no where near that of T206. The Obak cost less than most PSA 2 T212s, and the E98 was about the cost of any other Young in the same condition.

When I got those T209s I posted (on eBay around 10 or 15 years ago), they were presented as being badly damaged, and I got them for a correspondingly cheap price. But as several people said in the earlier thread where I posted them, at least the left one would probably fetch a good price today, because it's true scrap with an overprint on the back, apparently from the same sheet as several other T209s now owned by scrap collectors.

i'll try to get the back posted of Chance....amazingly it's a Piedy

the overprint almost gives Chance a "tattoed face" appearance , something tribal looking...

pretty wild....

mrvster -- I was talking about the T209-1s I posted on page 5 of this thread, and earlier in the "scraps from sets other than T206" thread from a month or so ago.

Actually, it turns out that I don't. The Tinker has significant paper loss at the bottom. That is why the name is missing.

But still a really cool overprint.
