T205 oddity (Luckey 7)
When I saw this T205 Waltse on EBay it clearly showed a 7 on the bottom gold/green boarder under the letter (Y) in New York. I waited to get in hand so I could see if was indeed was a original printed anomaly or something that occurred later. The (7) is the same font and point size of the text on the back of the card. This card back is a Polar Bear version. I did look at a few other Waltse/Polar Bear combos but was unable as yet to find another example. I believe the (7) is only able to bee seen because the degree of fading. Love to hear your feedback this oddity or help in locating further examples if any.
I did a little color correcting and tinting/lightening and contrasting to better show the area in question.
