barry sloateI am less familiar with Old Put overprints than the board members are (I think this is only the second one I've handled) and had no idea a blue background is such an anomaly. Anyone who wins it or who is at least thinking of bidding on it can send it in to one of the respected grading services and I will hold the money in escrow until the results are in. Please just mention this to me if you plan to be a serious bidder and it will be no problem. I believe the overprint is fine and wouldn't have taken it otherwise; the other card I have, the E92 overprint of McGraw, certainly looks more questionable to me as I have never seen it before, but I do state that in the text. I never want to sell a bad item and will defer to other expert opinions if there is genuine concern.
