Minor, minor, minor 1962 variation

Could be two different places on the sheet.

The ones that don't show the scratch don't have the nick in the top border just above it either.

The color seems to be all over the place, tough to tell from most Ebay scans if it's different, or just looks purple or grayish blue because of inking or registration.

There are a lot more with the scratch than without. Maybe 2/3 of the ones on Ebay have it. Makes me wonder if it wasn't on the mask.

I found that fewer than 10% of the examples on eBay had this printing error on the day I checked. I believe it was February 24, 2014...however...might be mistaken about the date.

That's cool.

I was talking about the Bressoud, but getting an idea of the ratios on the others is good too.

Today's a good day for the scratches. 35 without, 7 with and 8 green tint. Still, only 20% makes it a pretty good one to pick up.
