I found this #1394 plate in an accumulation I bought. While I have seen "ghost" impressions on other Giori press issues, this one is pretty dramatic... especially evident at the bottom of the frame and the dark shadows below Ike's eyes.

I used the word ghost before... what is the right word to describe this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Bob

I think the plate number is the most impressive - I think I can see at least three impressions!

I failed to mention the multiple plate numbers but yes I haven't seen that many after looking at alot of Giori press issues.
