Ongoing Auction: T206 Printer Scrap?

[Archive]

that the back is certainly the puzzling element and not the front - I echo the sentiments of the post that pointed to how odd a reproduction such an item would be. It's actually quite complicated in terms of design - and as a fake the idea would be poorly conceived and inadequately implimented. Additionally there is little if any realistic financial motivation to produce it. Someone willing to pay for such a rare annomally (;imited audience) of a common card would have enough knowledge to question such a card's elements and be leary - that is they couldn't fool someone who would be the buyer at any kind of real money. Does anyone know what color ink was used on the 1990's repro set for the Drum? Real or not - hard to imagine how this came about - especially with what appears as a skinned back - WERE THE FRONTS AND BACKS OF T206'S PRINTED ON A SINGLE SHEET or was it two sheets applied together? Forgive the silly question but I'm a 19th century guy - new at this - hungry to learn......... As mentioned earlier it seems the only way printing would appear on a surface like that on a legitimate card is if it was a 2 sheet production and was in fact printer's scraps.....
