@JimR - I don't think there was a public listing aside from the mention in this thread. It's already been sold though.

@Shaun - Totally agree! My first impression was marker or pen. Hopefully we can somehow get to the bottom of the mystery.

I've been trying to figure out exactly what would cause this sort of misprint. It's not a typical fisheye caused by debris on the plate or offset blanket. Those are color inside unprinted rings.

I believe it's from dents on the plate, or stone. Ink would pool in the dent or chip, but wouldn't print in the center if the defect was deep enough. So it would only come from one spot on the sheet, and probably only from part of the overall press run.

Having different backs should prove that groups of fronts were printed first and then backs were printed as needed.

thanks Trae-not really in to oddities just wanted to know the asking price and by the post I thought I missed something.

Now if it had an Uzit reverse...

Just a note. This seller is the guy that a few weeks ago, some of us were talking about a wild new bidder that made us look like we were bumping our own auctions. He placed like 20 bids on one of my lots as a 0 feedback guy, and lots of bids on my other stuff selling that weekend. He has put this lot together over the last few weeks and must be trying to make the flip before the vig adds up on the credit card.
He has about $1500 worth of my stuff in there, wonder if he is gonna make the flip in time!

I just thought that was kind of funny,
Bob

Here is a high-res zoomed scan of the "8" - still no clue what it is.
