Yes, I did mean two p's. And thanks to you, I have the explanation. Ah, the vagaries of the "Monster". SGC clearly marked the card 'error', which I guess is sort of correct.

Jeff, I will try, but it may mean I have to bring in the Geek Squad, my computer skills being about at the level of a 5 year old. I have a scanner and that's a start.

Pat, it is indeed. You have no idea the amount of angst you saved me. Please bill me for your labor. Many thanks, John

Happy to assist John, no charge and nice "Shappe" example.

Almost anything like this is from the transfer used to lay out the stone/plate not adhering properly.
Same for the ones with cut off sections of names, and messed up names where the transfer tore and got messed up.

They'd be only from one position, and only on that plate.

Back in the 90's - 00's there were a group of print defects that were cataloged as errors and that's when the grading company's would label them as errors.
I'm not sure about Beckett but I don't think PSA or SGC will label them errors anymore.

There are just as many similar print flaws that weren't cataloged but the ones that
were still bring a premium especially the ones that were labeled as errors.

IMO something was stuck on the printing plate which caused the R to turn into a P. To answer the original question about why it’s not at the same level of a magie… an intentional spelling error is a far bigger mistake then something getting in the way of the ink hitting the card. Similar to the Nodgrass. The “S” is actually present on that card it’s just partially missing.

Yes and as Greg pointed out you can still see part of the R on the "SHAPPE" variations. Most of the caption print defects have part of the missing letter visible.
