T206 Error?!?!

I just noticed the S in Titus is backwards on my card. Is this a normal print error? I looked at others posted and didn’t see any others this way.

The paper loss right over the S is creating an optional illusion that it's reversed. I did a double take at first, but zero chance it was printed reversed. Post a close up shot, thanks.

The "S" in the T206 typeface is tight and almost shaped like an "8". So a tiny amount of paper loss can make it look odd, "reversed" in your case.

Closeup.

People can see two different things.

With all due respect, I believe it is 100% not reversed.

Let's have others weigh in.

I agree, just damage causing an optical illusion.

Another vote for an optical illusion

Until others thought otherwise (as others will do), and I broke out a magnifying glass out, my brain was convinced that this T213-2 Donlin '.300 batter for 7 years' was actually a previously unseen '.200 batter for 7 years' variation. Under magnification I saw that an extremely well placed scratch line caused this optical illusion.
