CHIEF BENDER Ghost OverPrint Error?? STOPPED

[FrankWakefield]

That looks to me that it is as much or more likely to be where the two cards ended up front to front then got wet with water, alcohol, kerosene, or something else. Seems to me that it would be unlikely that sheets would line up like that if stacked front to front, so it seems something that would have been likely to have happened after the cards were cut. I'm not convinced that is a printing error at all...

To me it looked more like a wet sheet transfer.....That seller is normally pretty good and I am surprised he stopped the auction.

Odds are that two sheets, one newly printed, placed face to face, seem unlikely to line up like that so well. Those frames line up quite well.

What seems more likely is two separate cards, face to face, would be quite likely to line up that well. Seems to me 'we' jump the gun and want any ink abnormality to be something that happened during the printing process. A hundred years ago there were craftsmen that could print quite well, in some ways much better than what's done today. Still, it may be such as you say...
