 UX9d, 1886 1c Black on salmon pink, mint card, Very Fine, rare and
attractive variety, there has been some discussion that the pink stock was used as a marker to count stacks of 500 sheets, although Bill Falberg's article in the July/August 2012 issue of Postal Stationery ("How I Would Handle The Salmon Pink Cards,"
Vol. 54, No. 4, page 157) dispels this myth; instead it is likely that the printer Daggett, who also printed registry return receipt cards for the Post Office Department, simply inadvertently mixed the paper stock (Scott $1,500) (Image 1)
