2 T206 Mysteries

[mrvster]

Scott!

i see it....i have a polar bear front /wet sheet on a sweet cap!!

i'll see if i can get a scan...

Thank God your back

finally another veteran freak like meLOL

usually a card with a dull wet sheet like that is really 2 cards that was stored tightly for many years together so the ink transferred that way, especially if it was humid.

I had thousands of Oakland Invader bumperstickers (with a radio ad on back) all rubber banded together for 25+ years and now 99.9% are basically ruined because of this...

That makes sense, but they were stored crooked

yes, I'm addicted to freak cards. I tried to ignore it, but it's like malaria.

As soon as I saw the Wiltse in the first post, it reminded me of another T206.

Wilson (not mine)

Nice cards by the way!

I used to be a middleman for an eccentric collector who had three (possibly more) 'Ty Cobb' backed Ty Cobbs. Another showed up and he said "get if for me". I replied, "Why?, you've got three." He responded, "That card belongs in my collection - it should not belong to anyone but me." His attitude kind of creeped me out at the time, but...

...I need that Wilson - it belongs with my Wiltse.

Scott - The Wilson was listed on Ebay and ended without a sale. It was then relisted and ended after a day or two by the seller with no bids.

I've often wondered if middle men exist in the hobby. Would people hire you to hunt down cards on their want list for them? What kind of fees did you take as a middleman?

I only have a few odd T206s. Here's one handcut but looks like the complete print. Either that or it's the worst trim job ever.
