T206 Wiltse Portrait No Cap - Missing Bottom of Y in "N.Y."

[mrvster]

SCOTT!!

you're right about the hemphills....i have 2, that are clearly missing the bottom part of "h" and "e"......hank and i have bid for them in the past...

interestingly, mine have 2 different backs, a sov and pied i beleive, i'll check These anomalies with partial lettering seem to be minor defects on the print fonts for the captions.We can "assume" that something, or wear affected them causing partial omissions of the letters. This is similiar to the "nodgrass" but with less publicity.

One of the hemphills did cost me, but the other was the price of a common cause noone noticed it.

btw, does anyone have a hemphill(missing part of the "h" and "e") like this??(sorry no scan but i'll try to post)


Trae, i'll check for wiltse on my end..

Here's a scan of mine. This one was acquired in a trade with Scott and Hank. I am sure they are on Ebay but I have never seen one. Full Y's on the Wiltses.

Very cool. I was not aware of the Hemphill "half H".

My opinion is that if the Murr'y, Shappe, Nodgrass, Mitchell "Toront", etc. cards bring a premium, which they of course do, then the Hemphill's, Randall's, Wiltse's (assuming another surfaces), etc. of the set should bring their premiums too. They're no different as far as the source, and scarcity, of the variation goes.

Yes, I own the Wiltse.
