Too bad one of the strikes wasn't blue. Shown many times.

I have always liked a couple of typographical error cards in my collection. The E220 National Caramel card of Jim Bagby has his name spelled Bagbyk, which certainly is different from the typical spelling mistake...not sure how this one got past quality control.

The other two cards pictured are Zeenuts of George Wisterzil. I like the fact that he had four Zeenuts issued (1918, 1919, 1920 and 1922), and his name is spelled three different ways--Wisterzill, Westerzil, and Westersil--none of which are correct.

My favorite is this T206 Red Kleinow missing the red ink.

[E93]

Some E93 missing color variations.

Leon- what's the story behind those two E100's missing all their colors? They're very unusual and I'm not sure what they are.

Hey Barry
They are once removed from a very original collection from CA., and were found at th bottom of a box with a bunch of super scarce cards including 2 E100-2 Weavers and 10 or so other E100-2s. They walked into a show and up to the Beckett table and had them grade and sell them. This was the only two like them but some others were sold on ebay and also consigned to REA. I honestly think they are from a family that might have had ties to the production of the Bishops cards. My guess is that they are scraps of pre-production cards. They probably weren't cut from an ad piece because of their lack of color.

[barrysloate]

Pre-production pieces sounds about right because they look more than one step away from being ready for market.... I like them.

Brian, I believe that the spelling Westerzil is correct. I have four different sources from his Wichita days that all spell it this way. I didn't include a program that spells it this way too.

Not to be a wet blanket, but aren't miscut or cards with color differentiation not considered an ERROR?

The original intent of this thread (starting with my MAGIE & BRIS LORD/Magee cards) is exactly as you suggest.....true ERROR's.
However, so far, most posts here are of ''printing process flaws". Not designs mistakes.

And, that's all fine, too.
