Printing Errors.. Why aren't they all valuable?

[T206Collector]

....I think Murr'y, nodgrass and Shappe are really lame variations that shouldn't be recognized as legitimate printing errors like, e.g., Magie and Doyle N.Y. Nat'l.

In other words your Lundgren is every bit as (un)special as nodgrass to me!

A lot of times people will try to collect these things cause they heard on an internet chat board that someone somewhere is paying a premium for them. Don't believe the hype!

Leon,

I've been painstakingly researching that upside-down T206 Mullaney for ya. I realize that my William Howard Taft theory was shot down due to cutting edge technology ("ear lobe forensic science" --- thanks for nothing David!!!) But this time I've got it. It's not Cy Young on that image but "William Randolph Hearst!" The time-line fits perfectly and it makes alot of sense for some printing press operator to use his image for printer scraps. I realize the truth hurts sometimes and this revelation definitely shoots down the value.....so if you want to get rid of it, please forward a PM and I will FYI a SASE.

Lovely Day...
