Posted By: <b>Bryan Long</b><p>I know this has been discussed before, but I have yet to actually see one that a 54 member has in their collection. Also a double overprint would be even nicer. In all the auctions I have seen, both on ebay and major auction house I don't think I have ever seen one. Does anyone here have one that they would like to share.<br />When was the last time you saw one for sale? Any idea on what it may bring? Obviously the player on the card would make the final price.<br /><br />Edited to say: After doing another search it looks as though one may have been posted here before but no longer exists.<br /><br />.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>There were two depicted several months ago; but, I can't recall whose cards<br />they were or which thread these two cards were on.<br /><br />There is something about these overprints that makes me skeptical. Are they<br />a legimate issue or are they just printing errors ? I say this because the<br />overprints I have seen are inverted. They are not like the typical Sweet Cap.<br />overprints at the bottom portion of the card's back. Instead, they are printed<br />upside down on the top portion of the Old Mill back....very strange.<br /><br />Anyone else have any thoughts on these seldom seen T206 backs ?

Posted By: <b>Brian E.</b><p>Ted, I do recall the thread you referenced; after that thread, I am of the opinion that the OM OP is a printing error rather than a distinct issue.<br /><br />Brian E.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Brian E.<br /><br />Brian Weisner also agrees with us about these being printing errors.<br /><br />The Thread that was posted on this subject is "T206 Old Mill sl Double<br />Overprint Scan" by Robert A (caramelcard) on Dec 23 2005 and it can be<br /> currently accessed on P. 22; unfortunately, the pix are no longer there.<br />

Posted By: <b>Scot Reader</b><p>Bryan and Ted:<br /><br />Here is an example of Old Mill Single Overstrike with red print. The subject is Greminger. Unfortunately for me it is not my card.<br /><br /><img src="http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j41/sreader3/OldMillSingleOverstrikeBack.jpg"><br /><br />Scot
