Joe D.on the printing press.....
the first bunch of sheets you have are called the 'make ready sheets'.
often the two sides don't back up correctly and you have to adjust plates and such. its also possible that a sheet did not feed correctly.
Either way, a card like that was meant to be thrown in the garbage. At the time of printing there were probably many many cards like that (in number, not percentage).... which all found themselves in the trash.... so it is pretty cool that one of them slipped through and is now in your hands.
edit to say: and I guess it disproves the vertical coil theory. nice post.
