Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>did anyone ever notice that the "N" in Boston on bill sweeney's card is capital?...like "BostoN"...usually all other cards have only the first letter capitalized, but never the last...<br /><br />also, noticed on the o'hara, st. louis card, that his "blank jersey" actually has a small remnent (sp?) of the upper left part of the "N". very very small, but it is there. they obviously just adjusted the printing plate the wipe out the "NY"...but missed a very small piece of it (it looks like a black dot).<br /><br />i just recently observed the sweeney, but have always noticed the o'hara.<br /><br /><br />any thoughts? any additional printing notes?<br /><br />MS

Posted By: <b>DaveW</b><p>In looking at Ted's card, I could swear that there is the remnant of an N on the cap. <br /><br />Of course, the O'Hara NY card doesn't have an N, so this must just be coincidence.<br /><br />Original, and with the phantom N highlighted<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1175906831.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1175907031.JPG">
