1949 Leaf Theory

[bleeckerstreetcards]

very interesting theory, good research/thinking and thanks for laying it out. always more to unwravel with this set, it seems - one of the reasons why I love it!

The Hermansk is not a true error but an inking problem of some sort with a clog or something like this. No question the NO I version has a deeper darker red . I’m posting some photos of a HALF version I own which is neither the Hermansk or the Hermaski but in between!!! The back also seems somewhat over inked on the top as well. See what you think……

Very interesting. Best set in my humble opinion.

The Hermanski card was situated in the lower-most right corner of the 1st Series sheet. And, the "Hermansk"
cards are simply a result of printing flaws.

Here is an old photo of an uncut sheet of 1st series cards. Along with a diagram of the card #'s on their backs.

I agree that there was some printer's error that went into the Hermanski's. It does make me wonder why "they" recognize this as an actual variation. Jury is out on this one for me, if the population didn't fall into the similar proportion as the others, I would say it is a simple printer mistake. I'll keep digging and report back with what I come up with.
