[QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 2771045, member: 24274"]This thread needs some love and tonight I happened upon a card in my collection that I hadn't shared. (Well, okay, there are plenty I haven't shared, but this one stood out.) This is my one and only error souvenir card! Philatelic souvenir cards used to be more frequently issued than paper money cards, but they don't get posted much here. This one was issued for the 1984 American Stamp Dealers Association show in NYC. What becomes obvious in the close-up of the "stamps" on the card is that the black printing is significantly shifted, causing sort of a ghost image of of Tom Sawyer whitewashing the fence. This type of color-shifted error showed up fairly often on actual stamps from the 1960s to the '90s, due to the huge numbers printed. But on a souvenir card it's actually pretty rare.
