You should start a survey on this "Y." flaw card. This "Y." flaw most likely resulted when the printer went a little too far in removing
the "Nat'l" lettering in the caption.

It is definitely scarcer than my "Printer's Mark" discovery.

For the past 3 years, I have kept track of the Joe Doyle cards; and, only 8.3 % of the Joe Doyle cards have this printer's (remnant)
mark out of 229 unique samples. A total of 19 cards have this "mark" and the majority of them are PIEDMONT 350 cards. To a lesser
degree, they are SWEET CAPORAL 350. And, 2 of which are OLD MILL and 2 are POLAR BEAR backs. No "mark" has yet been seen on
the Joe Doyle cards with an EPDG, or a SOVEREIGN, or a TOLSTOI back.

Until very recent, I had not seen this "Y." flaw on any of the Joe Doyle cards. I would be very interested in knowing which backs are
on these Joe Doyle cards with the "Y." flaw that you have (or have seen) ?
