Jerry to be honest I just don't see it there. Just looks like some blue ink on the card. Jmo

Hi Andrew ... yeah ... I think you're right ... just some stray blue ink maybe. At one angle it resembled part of a "W" I thought. Was just curious if all the Latham's, including the PB's, were supposed to get the "W.A" but the "W" didn't print because of a printing machine problem that made the "W" a weak press to the card(s) or missing ink color. Or maybe someone just tried to make a weak looking blue "W" on this card before sending to SGC :-) Anyway ... thanks for looking. Love these T-205's!

I'd be interested in seeing the D over B as well.

Unlike the Miller, I don't know about the Latham if it is a true variation. I have in my notes several other variations, that I have never seen but people mentioned over the years on this and other boards. Who knows how many are real and out there!?

Marc I have 3 Latham HLC backs with the faint w upside down and 3 more with periods before A. All have the period before A also. Only one found without and it looks like an erasure was taken to it

Jerry looking at the photo, I can see that.

For what it is worth, my A Latham is a Polar Bear back and doesn't have that mark at all.
