Joe D.And I think we can safely say those cards with the dot - were almost "Nat'l"s
The printer polished out that area on the plate (instead of making a new one) and left some of the 'N' there.
I'm not sure how long plates lasted back then, how long the press runs were (or if plates were held for more than one run)....
so its hard to say how tough these would be to find.
But to me, the cool part is that the card was almost a Natl - and could very well have been part of the same press run as the Natl cards.
