Fake Errors
Recreational Sports.  Magenta and yellow omitted.  (Scott No. 2961-2965)
This is a nasty little piece of work.  At first glance it appears to have red and yellow omitted, leaving black and cyan.  Fortunately, vehicle ghosting for the large areas of red and yellow are evident when viewed under bright, oblique light.  With patient viewing, ghosting of the magenta numeral in the selvage is also apparent.  Paper and gum also appear whiter when compared with a normal example, although the difference is subtle and not readily apparent when the fake is viewed by itself.
