APC / CVP / ATM #CVP108 Sheet of 10 USPS Eagle Overprint ERRORS, Flag stamp

Description: Fantastic Error of the USPS Eagle design on the Flag ATM stamp (Scott #CVP108) This lot is for a full sheet of 10 stamps of the new "Flag" design SSK stamp (catalog #CVP108) that was introduced in late summer / early fall 2018, and this example has the USPS Eagle overprint Error. While similar type of error overprints (.i.e: with the USPS Eagle) on APC / SSK machines have been offered in the past, the KEY DIFFERENCE is that this overprint error was done by one of the new SSK (APC) ATM machines that starting being put into operation from August to October 2018. These new machines were supposed to be using the flag design label and yet were set up (at the factory) to use the "plain white (unprinted) label" instead. Since this machine is of a new redesign (see photo - the new machines are gray, the old ones were blue), it was apparently not set up correctly at the factory and thus was printing the USPS Eagle design (which is a setting supposed to be used for printing on plain white labels - which are not in use any longer either, not the pre-printed flag labels)! As an interesting side note: due to the Eagle overprint error, this stamp now states "USA" twice! One is at the bottom of the preprinted flag design, the other a part of the Eagle design that was printed at time of purchase! How can you tell that this sheet was printed on one of the new machines? Simple - on the new machines, the human readable serial number now begins with a number, rather than a letter (which was usually A through G, followed by numbers) on the old machines. This particular error was available starting late August 2018 from machines in the Dallas, Texas area; they have since (before end of November 2018) "fixed" the machines and they are now printing just the regular version of the flag stamps! I have 2 sheets of this 10-stamp sheet, both are identical (purchase date was 9/2/2018 as shown on the vertical serial as 80902 in the middle of the string of numbers), the scan shown is representative of the sheet that you will receive. --> Please note that Scott's does not list error versions of these CVP stamps. Due to value and eBay guidelines, shipping is only via tracked & insured Ground Advantage or Priority Mail (costs are calculated by eBay based on the destination). Note: If you choose Priority Mail, then I will use an error stamp as part of the postage on the envelope as a bonus!
