CHIEF BENDER Ghost OverPrint Error?? STOPPED

[tbob]

Robert, I think that was a wet ink transfer when two sheets are placed together. This does happen. The Bender front appearing upside down on the front of the Lake is bizarre.

Gotta believe if you had to bat against that thing on the mound it would be very disconcerting.

I agree with TBob on the Bonner Obak card.


Golly, guys. Imagine two uncut completely printed sheets of cards, fronts and backs perfect. What are the odds of laying a wet sheet face down on the face of another, and lining it up perfectly... look at those frame lines.

What is MUCH more likely is that the finished cards were placed face to face. And lots of transfers could occur from water damage... Those cards could have been in a kid's pocket and he sat in water or was in the rain... to be lined up so well is much more likely AFTER the cards had been cut.

I'm not saying there aren't printers' errors or printers' scraps out there, but that just doesn't look like it to me. Intelligent black light comment, thanks for that.
