Boston Store cutting error.
 
2 Attachment(s)
A number of years ago I won a 1917 Boston Store Rixey on eBay and recently I picked up a Boston Store of Nehf at the Robert Morris Show. This has to be a factory cut situation because both has a slight what I would call "foot" to the right in the bottom right side of the card. On the bottom left is a slight cut into what would normally be the corner. Has anyone else seen or have examples of this print error? I don't know if this has been mentioned in any of the catalogs. I do not reference catalogs.

It appears the blade that was used to cut the right side was very dull, evidenced by the rough cut, once the blade got to the last bit of the cut it had pulled the sheet a bit askew and caused the weird cut. This is also the cause of many of the diagonal cuts we see.

Hey Brian,
Yes this is very common to the issue. Quite often when this so call foot is seen the opposite corner has a more rounded appearance also. Chipped and ragged cuts are also very common.

Thank You, Sb1 and David for the information.
