too much ink card?

The print quality of the red B on Starr's cap varies quite a bit. They can be found very neat, with just the top portion of the B filled in, or both the top and bottom of the B completely filled in.

I don't own one completely filled in, though I have seen them, these two are from my collection.

Thanks for posting those pictures Tim!

The one on the right is very neat!

If you really think about it how is this anymore silly than any other T206 printers mistake? I mean just as many folks could say cards like the Shappe is just as silly. Card has value because a tiny part of the capital “R” is missing…yet the card brings big bucks. As do the Doyle cards with dots and no dot.

Probably best not to think about it at all, lest the whole T206 market goes south all at once. Because if you really did think about it.....you wouldn't buy it. No knock on Dan, he can price his cards as he wishes.

Here are two t213-1 Starr examples. (the psa card has been traded away)

These print anomalies take time to be recognized by the market. There was a lot of discussion about the merits of the various Sweeney "B" no "B" many years ago.

I think we need to come up with a better name than "Red Blob" variation though.

Too funny! I agree, "red blob" is horrible!

But then again I ain't that swift

Thanks Barry, you never need to say "no knock on Dan"

You always have a Hall pass with me my friend!

I'm okay with calling it the "red blob" error, so long as people are buying it

Tim, It looks like the B in the scan on the right is printed over an A. Could
be a coincidence but it sure looks like a capital A under the B.
