Is there anyone that can explain this error to me?? The copy I have looks just like the pictures for both the error and corrected.

Also an explanation of #126 Ron Cey...

Personally, I don't know why this is listed as an ERR. There's a piece of debris near the bottom of the "O" in Orioles. 

Same with Ron Cey card. Debris on the printing plates.

It looks like that mark near the capital "O" in "Orioles" is called a "hand" mark and is a printing mark on the front/back of a number of cards (as noted here). If we have them listed then I'm guessing the thought is there was a problem with the printing plates for those cards and they were fixed in subsequent printings, which is how we have them listed here ("second printing").

Thank you!!
