Default t206 Shappe ???

Posted By: fkw

To me it looks like is might have been a Shappe originally, but then someone came along long ago and made an "R" with an ink pen out of the first "P". With this attempt it made the card less in demand because of this doctoring of the original caption.

Also, just my opinion, the Shappe card is extremely overrated, it is just a print flaw where the leg of the "R" was missing, and not a true man made error like the Magie spelling error. Both the Shappe, Nodgrass, and other print flaws like this are overrated IMO. Id rather have an attractive missing color card than one of these tini caption flaw cards anyday.
