T206 "Fatty" Demmitt

[Runscott]

Here's a very wide Demmitt. Anyone ever seen a mark like what's on the back right side? It looks post-production to me, but it didn't keep me from bidding:

That thing is nice. Might be an alignment mark on the edge of a sheet for cutting

Maybe, but I don't think so. I think someone was preparing to give Demmitt a shave and never got around to it.

I've been reading The Card, so I'm empathetic as to how these things sometimes just happen - you know, money and all. This one would be a strong candidate for a thinning, but the wrinkles should keep him safe.

I have other polar bears with neat print marks like that Scott, very cool in my opinion!

I have seen a few of these on the PB backs, I think Johnny may have one.

Scott, I'm more inclined to think that's a mark for where the factory cutting should have gone.

It would be interesting to see other Polar Bear backs with such a mark, and to see how big the margins are on those cards, and the balance of the margins...

It looks like a crop line to me.

Already mentioned, Johnny has a Polar Bear with a large crop line (along the top border ) just like the Demmitt.

If you won that card Scott..then Congrats! Nice card!
