Default Overprints?

Posted By: Scott Forrest

these are the cards that you dreaded getting as a kid in the '60s - garbage you immediately threw away.

But the ones from 1900-20 are considered "rare" printing errors. Personally, I see value in the ones that shed some light on the printing process - specifically, the cards that were used to "test" the printing process. But oustide of Charlie's card with the Weimer "ghost" on the back, most of the "ghost" cards you see are just bad registration.
