Why did this card sell for so much last night

[sreader3]

Almost certainly, Steinfeldt was part of a sheet on which all cards were meant to receive a Factory 42 overstrike. The sheet was discarded for some reason prior to being overstricken. The card was later hand-cut from a sheet. In other words, it is almost certainly scrap--never inserted into a pack.

Still a great card.

So help me out here......these cards exist, but since they were not distributed in packs, they aren't considered "confirmed"?

Am I reading that correctly?

100 % correct!!!!

problem is, hard to notice as scrap because the person hand cutting them from the sheet did an OUTSTANDING job when cutting them from the sheet..they look extremely close to the factory dimensions..to the "un trained eye" they almost appear "factory cut"...\


I personally prefer my scrap with wild , hand cut borders, but in the case of these cards, I think I would take anyone of them!!!

great "spotting"

this is an example of gems being hidden then "found" in the "wild bush" of ebay

Maybe they were actually factory cut, then the cutter/shipper/packer/ guy in charge or whoever knew the cards couldn't be distributed so he took them home?
