DavidI think that Scott's and Pete's similar theories that both Piedmonts were scraps/poor print jobs sounds good. Though, the Mastro auction I beleive suggests that the card came from a pack, meaning the card was actually issued and not just tossed out at the printers.
Lastly, while not wishng to start up the big debate again, the appearance of a new Piedmont with a larger(?), irregular cut and a slight misprint does support, though not prove, the popular consipracy theory about a certain card.
