Scott #2920 32c Flag Over Porch Light Blue Mostly Missing

After searching here and on google, I can't find any mention of this issue, #2920 with a light blue mostly (all?) missing.
My 2020 Scott Specialized mentions a dark blue missing but nothing about light blue. Does anyone have a newer edition? Thanks

Looks like an EFO [shrug]. Also, you've seen this I assume: https://www.usca.nl/wp-content/uplo...jul-2021.pdf

Scott does not list almost missing colors, or almost missing perfs or de cuts. They only list completely missing. That does not mean that partly and largely missing examples are not of interest to some of us.

Here is an example I own.

Mods - should this be moved to the EFO folder?

Thanks for the info - I gave the post the title "light blue mostly missing" because I know that true color missing means not even one tiny speck of color, so I figured this one simply must be a much more common color mostly missing. But, I was curious to know if any true color missing examples have been found.

However, I do apologize for posting a rather common item and then posting it in the wrong category, too! Oops! It must be incredibly boring to see collectors posting and enthusing about something that you've seen a thousand times before.

Edit - the first comment "shrug" seemed to imply that these types of color missing items are rather common thus my apology for posting something others might find boring.

No, it is not a rather common item.
To answer your question, there is no light blue missing in the 2023 Scott Specialized

eyeonwall: I have not seen this one. By definition then, it is a most unusual pane. If you don't see light blue dots under magnification on stamps 8/9, then it should eventually be catalogued in the Scott Socialized as light blue omitted. Likely there are some dots remaining, unfortunately, as it seems to be a very short "local event of ink starving". Evidently, there should be similar panes to the left and right of yours on the web roll.

The lower right sections of eyeonwall's positions 8/9 clearly show light blue, but the single in my pic doesn't show blues in that area. If the "ink starvation" drkohler mentions continues, then something like my example could have possibly occurred on the next pane, yes?

Good question...
The image shows a segment of the web (without side margins, one full cylinder revolution). The red rectangle is the area where "most of the action occurs. It is perpendicular to the web direction. So my guess is the light blue plate pressure was low for a short moment and not enough light blue ink was transfered. If that was a once-in-a-lifetime-event, we might be looking at five panes max that show this effect.



As for your single stamp, I'd use a microscope to see if there are any light blue dots visible in the white areas. If not, you might have a true color omitted error. Unfortunately, the rule goes that if you see one lonely dot, it's a freak, not an error...

In a highly unlikely coincidence, this just appeared on eBay:

WOW - that's very freaking coincidental. Mine is not on piece and has a slight spot on the side and that one might possibly be mint? I'm in Florida - I wonder where it is located.

I assure you, I did NOT post that on EBay. I'm too much of a Girl Scout to play games or do sneaky things. I don't lie or even cheat on my taxes. I certainly hope that is NOT what you are implying!

Found it - a seller in Minnesota. I do not know that person, that is not my stamp and I had NOTHING to do with that listing.

I was not trying to suggest it was you.
