condition means everything in 90% of the hobby...BUT, the other 10%, which condition is not cared about, is reserved for rare cards which are hardly seen, and very desirable. |

However, there are few people that would actually pay extra for this type of rarity so you need to find the right buyer. |

As I live in Montgomery, I have some interest in the card as well. |

Joe..who really gives a rats butt if someone is a "flipper" instead of a collector? Will you honestly lose any sleep over it? |

I don't always understand exactly what Peter C is getting at but I have not seen him criticize anyone without being provoked. I can't say that about several folks on the board. Rare and scarce have pretty close to the same meaning, though I take rare as a bit less seen. Personally I don't remember ever seeing another card exactly like this one so I would call it rare too....but that's just me.. |

I really think the subject Old Mill T206 is cool looking, don't you? Have you ever seen any others like it, or any other brands of T206, with upside down backs? best regards |

Joe...unfortunately it seems rather easy to picture a 75 year old man in his fruit of the loom whitey tighties sitting in a boarded up apartment away from all reality. |

I agree Leon, and everyone else who is trying to keep this string on topic. It is a very cool mis-cut and I would think any t-206 collector would love to have it in their collection. I know I would. Nice pickup! |

It is a printing error caused by the printer flipping the sheet the wrong way before printing the second side to be printed. I have and have seen many cards from many different issues where the printer made this kind of error. They usually end up with an offcentered back because the cards were aligned for cutting with respect to the fronts, not the backs. It would command a very decent price from specialty collectors who like print error cards. |

well, thanks for all the input. Im not trying to start anything here im a collector, younger collector at 25 years old but not really a new collector of t206 or tobacco cards just haven't seen "everything" and to be honest ive seen some of the miscut backs but never an upside downer, till someone had a SGC graded Bender on the Buy/Sell/Trade Forums here. I emailed one gentleman already who was interested in this card and considering offers. email if interested |

I agree with you. Unless you are independently wealthy it's tough to collect now days without flipping. Even buying a T206 Walter Johnson in excellent condition is costly. Many of us collectors couldn't do it without selling our '50s and '60s stuff. |
