1941 Goudey miscuts

I had a question on the 1941 Goudey miscuts. I see them all the time to the point that a perfectly cut example is actually uncommon.

Who were cutting these things, 3 year olds?

I just picked up a group and 3 of the cards have the name at the top of the card rather than the bottom.

My question, do any of you have these cards in your sets?

Or are they so bad that you have no interest in them. I kind of find them interesting and think if someone could make a set with all the cards having the name at the top, now that would be a rare set.

besides the bad cut quality, the player selection(for a small set) is pretty bad too,except for the ott and hubbell.wonder if there were plans for more cards? it is hard to really believe these were factory cut, isn't it? there are quite a few in the current clean sweep auction. did you ever see a wrapper? i do not collect them but i do like the set.

The 41 Goudeys were block cut several sheets at a time. That is why you see many diagonal cuts as the top few sheets were probably cut decent but as you get to the bottom of the pile, the sheets moved or pushed out causing the cut on your Ott.

The name on top ones were just plain cut wrong IMO

miscut sheets doesn't explain everything though? The baseballs are in different positions as well on the card which has nothing to do with the cut,player name position. I think those cards are different.

dan that explanation of the cutting process clears this up for me,thanks. pete i think the balls are in the same place,just on different sides of certain cards.
