Does anyone have a Barger with this caption flaw

Yeah thanks Tony, that's one of the two 350/25's that I know about.

Pat - I recently picked up this p.350 example of this print flaw.

What's interesting is that I scanned my other two Barger examples, and it's pretty obvious that the "BARGER, ROCHESTER" is much closer to the bottom border than my other two copies.

I thought the name plate was a pretty standard placement. A few years back I posted a thread about how the "factory number line" moved around on SC.460.25s. https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=260593

A question for Steve/Pat - did the "name plate" move around, or was it a fairy standard placement?

Pics #1 & 2 - my three Bargers - at first glance, it seems like they are in different spots. In 2, I adjusted them so their bottom borders are in a straight line.
Pic #2 - comparison with lines - it sure seems like there is a significant discrepancy there, right? Or are my eyes deceiving me?

I don't know if the name plate location has been really investigated yet.
Ordinarily I'd think that the brown layer was just printed out of register on the high side, but I don't see anything that would confirm that.

It's possible the nameplates were added individually. The unissued proofs mostly have no nameplate, or one written in by hand.

I'm not sure why they would do that. There are a few maybe ideas, like they could more easily correct mistakes like Magie, or a change in team.
They would have had a "standard" location, but being added by hand they would probably vary a bit.

The missing or messed up bits of nameplate are from a transfer that didn't transfer properly. I think it's worth looking at the placement on other cards with nameplate flaws to see if relocating the nameplate has anything to do with it.
