Jake!!
Great "ghost" you have the rarer "ghost overprint" .....your is not a wst....it is an overprint and really rare card and a very nice piece
....that was a great and wise pick up....there are less than 15 or so examples known such as Weimer, Chance, Starr, and a few other player....yours is not as complete as the other aforementioned, but an extremely nice example in any case...thanx for posting
Sean,
Thanx...yes, Mr. Weimer is in my Circus
...it is the second documented Weimer and I know the other owner....The other Weimer is also in a VBC article Written by Scot F. years back.....
Chris B. and Myself (and some others)know these "Overprints" are technically "underprints"(the ghost image is actually printed in reverse on what was obviously the blank back, then the PIEDMONT ad was printed OVER the ghost image of Weimer(Maybe Chris can elaborate with a blown up scan of his Beauty of a Chance
....really neat stuff and it is still a mystery...solidifies a extremely rare error that maybe a sheet slipped out
EK..
Thanks! I love to see interest in these..
Wazz,
You are what gives me faith in this hobby
