CHIEF BENDER Ghost OverPrint Error?? STOPPED

Ahhh... but what would William of Occam have said about the centering of the transferred image onto the underlying image... that to have been sheets lined up like that would have been near impossible, it would have had to have been a card on card situation.

Frank Wakefield,
are you saying that a razor was used in the card to card?
Sorry, just can't avoid talking philosophy.

best,
barry

I love these overprints. Here's one of mine - the Lash's Bitters laxative ad printed on the back.

Probably that since no one has ever seen a T206 sheet, any statements about the impossibility of the cards lining up when one sheet is rotated 180 degrees are purely speculative.

No sir.

Cards are printed on a sheet, somewhere out there on the sheet. The cards are on the sheet with the expectation that they will be cut apart.

The precision of the distance from the outermost card's printed frame on the sheet to the border of the sheet would be less than the precision of a finished, cut card's printed frame to its edge.

Print something on the center of a piece of paper with your pc and printer, twice. Then lay one atop the other, face to face, lining up the sheets, and see if the images align.

Then, cut the two images out with scissors leaving a T206 size border around the images, and now lay them face to face. I 'speculate' that the second exercise will result in much better alignment.

The T206 Wagner with Doolin overprint on the front is one of the known Piedmont 150 examples.

I was also ready to snip this card at a hefty price. Not very nice of the seller not to respond to my email. Makes me think he doesn't care to much for his buyers. I for one will not bid on any of his items at all. Hope he loses a lot of business. And in this economy the last thing you should want is to lose buyers. Rob

I wanted that card, but it was sold before I could make an offer or place a bid.

Regards,
Scott

Why did PSA grade the two back overprints authentic if the cards are not considered trimmed or altered?

Wet sheet transfers and ghost prints are given number grades, so why not the back overprints?
