too much ink card?

If you really think about it how is this anymore silly than any other T206 printers mistake? I mean just as many folks could say cards like the Shappe is just as silly. Card has value because a tiny part of the capital “R” is missing…yet the card brings big bucks. As do the Doyle cards with dots and no dot.

Probably best not to think about it at all, lest the whole T206 market goes south all at once. Because if you really did think about it.....you wouldn't buy it. No knock on Dan, he can price his cards as he wishes.

Here are two t213-1 Starr examples. (the psa card has been traded away)

These print anomalies take time to be recognized by the market. There was a lot of discussion about the merits of the various Sweeney "B" no "B" many years ago.

I think we need to come up with a better name than "Red Blob" variation though.

Too funny! I agree, "red blob" is horrible!

But then again I ain't that swift

Thanks Barry, you never need to say "no knock on Dan"

You always have a Hall pass with me my friend!

I'm okay with calling it the "red blob" error, so long as people are buying it

I hear you Chris.

I just remembered this one I bought not too long ago and turns out I do own a "red blob."

Tim, It looks like the B in the scan on the right is printed over an A. Could
be a coincidence but it sure looks like a capital A under the B.

We're gonna have to keep a close eye on you

Hi Pat - I pulled the card out a looked closely at it and what you're seeing is caused by different amounts of red ink in that area. In some places it's a little heavier than others giving the appearance of a shape like an A, but it's all just red ink.

Interesting they all have a slight shift in the blue background, somehow these are linked.
