Jamie, I think several of us pushed the bidding on that Speaker. Glad it went to you.

Some cards I used to own...(the Sweet Caporal offset will be in REA).

Picked this up recently...thought it was pretty neat.

As great as some of these with a large shift are, I find the "worst" offprinted ones are the ones that are off by just a small amount as to make it fool with your eyes. That Miller Huggins posted is close, where you think perhaps you have something in your eye making it blurry, vertigo or double vision, but it is just the closeness of the offset that makes it appear that way.

I think it is related to how the brain "corrects for missing information" scenario that you learn about if you read about how print illusions work.

I agree with the ones with just a small print offset being horrible. I hate them and love the larger print offset cards.

It seems like strip cards are shifty by nature. Here is my Earle 'Greasy' Neale that slid right past register.
