error of postal cards
I collected some errors of postal cards. I was wondering how the
errors were produced. It seems that someone intentionally cut whole sheet of cards wrongly. Yes or no? Please see scan: http://www.5iyu.com/cntf/pict/USpostalcards.jpg Jin |

I doubt that the miscuts were intentional. Such errors are not listed in the
Scott U.S. Specialized Catalogue. I believe that a nominal premium is normally charged for such cards, but I could be wrong.

Correct! The following quote is from Scott:
"Since 1875 it has been possible to purchase some postal cards in sheets for multiple printing, hence pairs, strips and blocks are available. Some sheets have been cut up so that cards exist with stamp inverted, in the center of the card, two on one card, in another corner, etc. These are only curiosities and of minimal value."

I have one uncut sheet of cards. The misprints that I have that are errors
and worth more are the revalued overprints (1 cent added). tom "Jay T. Carrigan" wrote: Correct!

All United States definitive postal cards were sold in sheets and in
singles. It may be possible that a miscut definitive postal card is legitimate but not likely. Collectors and some dealers deliberately created miscut cards for various reasons. Advertisements exist in the philatelic press offering to provide any variety of miscut that could be imagined. -- Bill Lehr JOBI Philatelic Services specializing in US postal stationery 312 Lower Coleville RD Bellefonte, PA 16823-8726 (814) 355-8871 mailto: website: http://jobi.bizhosting.com "Jin Peng" wrote in message om...

Is this miscut postal card real error or deliberate error?
