I believe that since it wasn't a deliberate "correction or change" made to the card and just a print error or plate chipping or something similar, that it is no more a variation than a stray print line or ink color variance.

I guess it depends on how many exist. I asked a similar question about a Ewing card that appears to have a print modification. I don't see that theres any difference here. On the Ewings about 1 in 5 have a portion of the name obscured.

If some collectors think the nodgrass is a printing flaw, do you think that the Bud Shappe card is a printing flaw too?

Sean- I think I told you prior, that is my exact Nodgrass I bought in a hobby shop in Allentown, PA in 1991. I was the very first person to have a grading company slab this variation (that very flip you have, which is a circa 1998 flip). I sold it in a Leland's auction for $3k in 1999.

I think I sold it while it was at the pinnacle of it's value.

PS- authentic Nodgrass variations have a sliver of the "S", they are not totally void of an S.

I remember Mike. I bought it in 2004 or 2005 for $2,000.

Yes, SHAPPE is also a printing flaw. So is CPIGER and MURR'Y.

I believe nodgrass is now legal for medical purposes in several states.

Nodgrass, Shappe and Murr'y are print flaws, the only error involved in
these cards was when they were cataloged as variations years ago.
There are dozens of these type of print flaws in the set here's a Davis that has AMEP instead of AMER I've seen five or six of these in the last couple
of years.

I believe that the Harry Davis AMEP is pretty rare. I've seen 4 I think....
