process preceded the blue ink; therefore, it is very unlikely to find one. However, they do surface on rare occasions.

As I said, you have a real cool card there.

P.S.….why did they grade it an "A" ? It appears to be factory cut.

except for the factory overprints, I've never seen anything that would remotely make me thing the backs were multiple passes of two colors.

The blue Sovereign could be real, but a missing color pass wouldn't be the reason.
