It is extremely rare. The only two that I know of are one that Al R. got on a pricey Buy-It-Now on eBay three years ago, and an unlisted one that I luckily found from Dean's Cards a year or so ago. The one I got was of course over priced considering it was from Dean's if it was just a normally printed 1958 Slaughter in very good condition, but being the rare print flaw version I was happy to pay the $17 or whatever it was. These types of cards are a niche only pursued by a small percentage of vintage collectors, most collectors either ignore them or look down upon those who collect them, but all it takes is two fervent bidders to fight over a very rare desired item.
