Jamie HullI recently picked up a large grouping of 1911 Obaks and around 25 of them have what appear to be printer’s marks or alignment marks on the front borders. Not all are quite as obvious as Seaton and Cartwright here, but generally they’re pretty apparent on the cards that have them. I’ve owned about a dozen 1911 Obaks in the past (all long ago sold) and don’t remember having seen any marks on them. So, how common are alignment marks like these on 1911 Obaks? And if they are common, what does it tell us about the printing process? (I believe such marks on issues like T206 are quite scarce.)
