T206 Miller-Pittsburgh No H
 

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>My Miller card has no H; it says Pittsurg. Is this a known error card? <br /><br />Or is this just a printing error?<br /><br />The rest of the ink on the title is thin.<br /><br />The back is a Piedmont 350.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1128234747.JPG">

Posted By: <b>zach</b><p>I don't think its a known error, but I wouldn't consider it one. Its obvious that the ink was just running low and ran out before the H. The letters before the H are very faint and some even partially there.

Posted By: <b>barry arnold</b><p>My scholarly friend, Steve, is quite right about the h being dropped<br />around 1890 or so by the U.S. Board of Geographic Names---and put back<br />in again around 1911.<br />I'm thinking the tobacco baseball card companies must have been obedient in<br />printing Pittsburg without the H. At least, that's my take.<br /><br />Barry

It's a super-double-error-variation-squared card worth billions...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sgccardregistry.com/images.asp?cardid=28507&usetid=1015" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.sgccardregistry.com/images.asp?cardid=28507&usetid=1015</a>
