I just aquired a raft of cards and I came across this. I'm trying to compare two cards and I haven't figured out how to do this on the forums yet, this seems to be the only place to provide scans. One card is regular and one is miscut. The thing that gets me interested in this card is that the miscut card shows the missing piece of the picture from the regular card. Have I a treasure or a deceptor?

(Easy way to see what I mean is to look at the glove of both cards on the back.)

Dixxy,

Generally speaking, you simply have a miscut. Card companies began the "full-bleed" photography on cards, and in order to ensure that a full photo would appear no matter the cut, there would be more photo than what the 2.5" x 3.5" card could "hold". This lead to fewer cards being noticably miscut - the exception is here where it is beyond the standard tolerance for deviation.

The other problem is it's 1990s Parkhurst - over-produced, and holds no major value. Beezer might be a 50 cent card, at most. Most shops and shows would probably have this card for a dime or maybe a quarter - at most.

Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news.

not a bearer of news i didnt already know. I believe 1986-95 is pretty much worthless spare a couple dozen cards. I didnt know about the full bleed photos. So, worthless as i thought it was, it's still an interesting find. I learnded something today! ------------------------------- The difference between Hoarding and Collecting is Structure. ~Kris~
