Fascinating T206 card of Jeff Sweeney which appears to have been through just three of the printing passes associated with the set. Scraps such as these are extremely desirable. It is fairly commonly thought that these "white and yellow" variations were never actually issued and were simply printer's "scraps" that were eventually hand-cut and spirited out the back door of the factory somehow. Many of these cards were at one time considered valueless by collectors and so many of the surviving examples are of poor condition certainly not cared for like an early collector might care for a Cobb or a Matty. This example despite exhibiting some heavy creasing does present extraordinarily well with square corners and a clean surface. An exceptional print error.
