If both of those things happened on the same day in the same city, what would be the headlining event in that little pre-news thingl?

In all reality though, if there are roughly 7 percent of them with this mark. Surely, someone else on this board can produce one or even has one to sell right?

Granted, $1200 may be a ridiculously high price for that card.

But, get this straight, that printer's mark is not just a "period". It is the lower remnant of the "N" in "Nat'l" of the Joe Doyle error card......of
which there are only 8 of these error cards known in the hobby.

In the process of erasing the word "Nat'l" on the printing plate of Joe Doyle's caption, American Litho (ALC) was sloppy and did not clear it off
completely. Shortly after, ALC removed this mark and a greater majority of the Joe Doyle cards do not have this mark.

We discussed this back in a thread I posted in 2007.....here's the link to it:

This aint no DOT on this Joe Doyle caption. In fact this MARK lines up precisely with the leading serif of the N in Nat'l....it also drops below the line of text,
as does the N in the real Joe Doyle error card. It is indeed a remnant of the N.

Nice one Martin... I'm pretty sure that's one I had slabbed LOOOOONG ago. It's changed hands a few times to a few different board members if memory serves me correct.

Could be another one of the ones where the caption didn't transfer to the plate properly, but in this case it got fixed. All the press operator would need to do to fix it would be to scratch in the missing letters.

What you're seeing is the pink layer shifted to the right and the bright red shifted slightly left.

Under the red at the left, there's a slightly lighter band the same width as the pink that sticks out at the right. And a similar but smaller vertical band at the right.

It's hard to tell about the other spots. Could be stains, could be spattered ink. Even in hand it can be hard to tell sometimes.

There is a horizontal print mark at top white border about midline.......The topic of print marks, oddities, color changes often spoke of here. I have read some of the topic but dont know the significance of this mark. Does it change the value of this card to someone who is looking for these?. I have seen the marks on the images of the proof T206 cards that have been spoken of in past. I dont delve into this subject much but I know others do.
