Note: Although the Piedmont miscut and Burch overprints on card backs can match up perfectly, we do not believe they were printed side by side due to misalignment of red color overprint and cutting pattern on the border. We believe they are from the same sheet but in different rows.

Single T206 test strip like this are extremely rare and there are less than a dozen known to exist. Multiple T206s that can put together side by side and provide information of original T206 printing plate are definitely one-of-a-kind collectible.
