Important Notice: Please note that the format of this auction differs from a traditional eBay Live auction in that only absentee bids are accepted. There is no live "bidding on the close" in which to participate. All lots offered in this auction will close at exactly the same time, as opposed to a traditional one at a time closing of lots, and therefore there is no live "one lot at a time" bidding close in which to participate. Your left bids will compete with all other left bids by auction participants. Bids may be placed on the eBay system at any time prior to 9:00 PM EST, May 1, 2004. No bids will be recognized or accepted when the eBay Live "live bidding applet" is run early in the morning of May 2, 2004 strictly for the purpose of officially registering and recording the final auction results.

T206 Printing Errors Collection (9)

A fascinating group of nine T206 cards with factory printing errors; each of which has escaped almost all color processes in its printing, appearing black and white and grey, with yellow if that color was a part of the card's design. The reverse of each features a final Sweet Caporal (350-460 series) back. Includes the following: Ames (hands above head), Chase (port.), Doyle (bat), Elberfeld (field), Joss (2 cards, both pitching), Murphy (2 cards, both at bat), and Seymour (throw). All are clean and crisp, each with one or two heavy creases, with the exception of one of the two cards of Murphy, which has somehow escaped creasing. We believe these error cards to be printer's scraps which were never actually issued. It is likely all were hand-cut and saved from the trash by the printer or someone who worked for the printer. A very substantial group of unusual, interesting, and very striking printing errors from the T206 series. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$2,000.
