SHAPPE revisited
1st image Psa 1 SHAPPE

3rd image Regular SHARPE
I posted this card (which I bought off of ebay) on the forum around 5 years ago thinking that it may be a possible SHAPPE. As I collect t205 and t206 error cards, my thinking was that this card was printed at the actual moment the printing plate broke and would be a most welcome addition to my collection. The other possibility is that someone tried to remove the "leg" and make it a "SHAPPE". As I looked at this card yesterday and compared it to my graded "SHAPPE" and a regular SHARPE, I convinced myself that this card is the result of the former, sort of a snapshot in time kind of thing. On the regular SHARPE, the outside of the leg of the "R" starts much further away from the "post" than in the Shappe/altered card if that makes any sense. Anyway, I thought it would interesting to post it and get some responses.
I really am trying to figure this card out and constructive criticisms are welcome.
