The thing with these minor "varieties" or errors is that they take a great deal of promoting to catch on with the collecting public, and even then they more often than not have a great deal of activity and then fade away. The bugs bunny is unusual in that it has stayed popular for all these years. It took a master promoter, the great Max B.
