Mark,

 

There are some differences. Pressing in the card business can be detected and is considered resto. Just got back a T206 last year that had been pressed. Beckett would not slab.

 

 

Lots of new cards can be trimmed because of very slight natural differences in card size. I know someone that does this to get Beckett 9.5 and PSA 10s (he has made LOTS of money doing this)

 

 

U know KB?

 

Is he in NC?

But since it can't be detected on a comic.......

 

Every time someone posts this :censored: an angel loses its wings.

 

Only a portion of the best pro-pressing jobs cannot be *reliably* detected, and even so, experts like Susan C. have gone on record they can tell the difference and pick the pressed book out.

The key to detecting pressing done on (many) comics.....

 

::gossip:...it's in the gloss.....

 

Many but not all.

 

No, not all...but it's a hell of decent sign.

 

One of the usual suspects will be along shortly to tell you how poor Susan C is at her job, but she has stated that she can detect pressing when it has been performed.

 

Fairly confident statement, that...but of course, she doesn't know what she's doing. meh

i think T206 is a series, not a specific card, but i'm no card expert or even close to an authority...

Sure..... there were different series until the early 70s

 

Ever hear of high numbers?

 

 

The 52 Topps high numbers are the holy grail to many

 

The Mantle is in this series

 

 

 

 

I am aware there were different series. meh

 

There still are.

 

The question was: was any given series' produduced in one continuous run, or did multiple print runs occur.

Susan's true love for comics helps make her great at her job. I had the privilege of having dinner with her earlier this year. What a remarkable woman she is. She will be the first to admit that she can't always detect pressing but, imo, she is better at it than most.

That it is, but it's a tough set all around, and happens to include the Honus card.

 

Was that the specific card you got, Capt...? ;)

Well I think they printed all during the season and the high numbers were printed in smaller numbers and probably only once near the end of the season. Variations in paper or paper thickness could certainly occur.
