(LOT #155) 1911 T205 BROAD LEAF
(Black) Al Bridwell
Broad Leaf in black is considered to be the 3rd scarcest of all the T205 back
variations - next to the Drum and Hindu. The black Broad Leaf is
considered more difficult than the brown Broad Leaf. This card is unique
because the black Broad Leaf and bio back was struck multiple times at the
printer. This would be considered a printer scrap even though their
quality control might have missed this error before packaging the card with
Broad Leaf cigarettes.It is rare to find a print oddity from the T205
series and this should command a premium price at auction. It is always
nice when an oddity is combined with a rarity - in this case the multiple
strike, and the black Broad Leaf back. Don't miss out on bidding on this
lot. You will never find another comparable example like this.
