No allegation here, but in an era where a portion of a letter missing or a shade difference in color has collectors clamoring for a card, you can never be too cautious.

Good point about being a bit skeptical. That being said I don't think the mark on the example shown in the first post really adds any value to the card. Maybe about $1.48? And of course mine is a true proof whereas about 99.5% of cards with printer marks are not.
Jim- I guess anything is for sale for a price
