A recognized error card? T206 Hart, Montgomery

I see an ebay listing for what appears to be a legitimate apostrophe after Hart's name Hart'. Is this recognized in the community (I know it's no Nodgrass, but I was just wondering)?

spec of dust on the press...maybe. Way too high, and to the right, to be an apostrophe.

It's legit because many years ago I remember bidding on that same card and lost. It was in one of Jim Maxwell's old mail auctions back in the 1980s. So evidently the seller's grandfather was the person who outbid me by mail? I wish I had read your post while the auction was still live. Haven't checked eBay lately and wish I had. Somebody got one hell of a bargain.

It looks like a legit mark but where it is located makes it just a random mark on the card.If you look at the enlarged scan in looks like theres green dots too,its no big deal. Even if it was in the right spot to be an apostrophy what exactly would it signify,that he owns the Montgomery team?

John, it wasn't that the mark was supposed to be an apostrophe or struck in a certain place. It was just listed as a one-of-a-kind error being that a diacritical/accent mark had never been accidentally struck along with the regular characters at the bottom of a T206. I still have some of my old Maxwell/Caputo auctions laying around here somewhere. Maybe I still have it circled? I'll have to go on a search when I get time.
