The press sheet arrays of the T206 White Borders have been debated since the organized hobby began to take shape in the 1930's. An immensely popular set to this day, the multitude of backs, print scarcities and wide range of subjects make it the king of prewar issues, and by a large margin. Over the last ten or fifteen years, print oddities have become the quarry of many collectors of the set and also given off clues as to how the set was composed and printed. The double-name Howie Camnitz shows that certain cards were arrayed in strips of unknown length.

While the miscut an rounded corners have resulted in the PSA 2 rating on a technical basis, the appeal is in the pair of partial names found above and below the player image.  To add to the fun, Old Mill is a somewhat tougher back among the more than three dozen varieties found in the set. There is a crease running across the left corner and there appears to be a light printer's registration mark between his first and last names on the bottom impression. The reverse has a nice example of the Old Mill brand.
