S74 pricing reversal

Leon,

Congrats on the pickup. I was one of the bidders early on due to my interest in the miscut.

I'm glad I was outbid since I already have that color S74.

Enjoy,


Patrick

I have an Old Mill cut like this (far right on screen) so thought it would be neat to have a Turkey Red similar to it....shown before but apropos

Leon,

Though you refer to your S74-2 as a "misprint," as some of the other posters have noted, it's really a miscut. The darkened region that covers the factory and brand information is some sort of glue that was intended to keep the silk from unravelling at the top and bottom when cut. Given that all the printing and glue is at the bottom of your example, there is nothing to prevent this particular silk from unravelling at the top, as it has started to do at the upper right.

Best,

I just used a catch all phrase but technically it is a mis cut. However, how about that Old Mill in the middle? I have never seen another like that one. Sort of a mis cut and mis print all in one >.

And a follow up comment to Andy's. I know it has always been the norm that the paper backed S74's have been more costly, but from what I have seen lately, the colored ones are catching up.
