A 78 Hisle with any stitching does not exist, it was never corrected. B. and C. are descriptions of the 78 Jose Morales.

Awesome and great list Al......

Many of these are probably overinking or registration problems.
Carlton is a solvent drip.

Oddly , the random dots are most likely actual differences on the plate.

Oh boy - I have a gazillion 78's! I never heard of these. Are any of these variations, besides Bump Wills, listed as "official variations" or are these just for fun? And, more importantly, even though I'm now going to spend an evening looking, do any of these variations have any premium attached to them?

I just now figured out your zinger, the thread is from 2012 and was resurrected yesterday . I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes.

Cliff, I found that list somewhere, but where I found it 9 years ago escapes me....didn't we figure there were something like 4-6 variations of the Morales?
