[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 3035311, member: 88212"]The first step to finding errors is looking for things that look different. Congratulations. These types of errors don't last very long in the wild. A quick rule of thumb is to look for straight lines that reach the edge in the blank area. If all the lines are straight it was most likely a flip over printing error that was trimmed off at sometime in the past. If it does not reach the edge or it has a ragged edge or shape then it was most likely printed over scrap that later fell off. If it did not fall off it is called retained scrap. The most famous of these retained scrap errors was the bill printed over a banana label. Your specimen is rare but worth more to you than others due to the poor condition. Keep looking and I hope the next one you find is pristine .[/QUOTE]
