VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THIS COLOR MISSING ERROR. VERY FEW ARE KNOWN.

This was printed on a two-color offset press, so two runs through the press were required to print all four colors. This must have missed going through the press the second time. Normal card accompanies for comparison.
