There was a warehouse fire at the old Sports Collector's Store (somebody please help me with that name), and a lot of the singed T206's in the hobby originate from that source.

The Bresnahan portrait I showed sort of appears to be burnt, but it's just dingy from being exposed to the elements........when I bought it, the seller told me it was actually found in an attic ( I know ) amongst other non sports cards as well as a small group of tobacco cards, and also an unkown card of a player I can't remember-Ty Cobb, Cy Young maybe? I wish I still had the email.

So it wasn't in the fire that Tim's was in ,,,,,,I have also seen a few with that one burnt edge though....very interesting!!!

Wonka, another group of great looking cards you have.

Yep, like that. Until I saw the one a bit farther down the page that was the worst one I'd seen.

And now that Barry has posted the rough details I'll have to keep an eye out for other brands with the same damage. I don;t recall seeing very many, but these backs are a bit tougher so maybe the singed ones are a bit more obvious.

Gotta scan my two which aren't all that bad. I think the scanner will be having a bust day tomorrow.
