Just a short addendum from the mailbag stuff for a few days:
David from CardBored.com also included this Nolan Ryan miscut for the trashed set in his recent package. It fully qualifies on condition alone, but it occurred to me a I had some other miscuts and bad prints that I'm going to start adding.
I don't need something that's just a bit off center or only slightly out of register. I want cards that are practically cut in half like Don Money of the Pirates here, wait...what?
Or what can only be some kind of topps experiment with 3D printing.
Or miscuts that are so off center and angled so wrong that it makes you sea sick to look at it.
Marvelous miscuts! It's really cool to see the 88D Ripken family so poorly cut. I feel like the more modern the card... the better quality control card companies had. In other words, you don't see miscuts like that nearly as often.
ReplyDeleteI have a few that are angled like the 88 Donruss. Those are even hard to put in a penny sleeve. Great examples. Better QC and better cutting equipment technology probably are factors in newer sets. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's not even rectangular card that looks off. It a parallelogram, if my geometry from school is correct. I'm not sure if it's actually even square to anything. I tried to put it in a sleeve once. 10 minutes later I had ripped out all my hair in frustration.
DeleteI love miscuts....those are some of the craziest I've seen in my life
ReplyDeleteCards so miscut that they display the wrong team (like your '75 Don Money) would have made a great design choice for Topps Traded sets.
ReplyDeleteThis is what even slightly off-kilter cards make me feel like...
