2384°		1c Black on Buff, Postal Card, Double Impression, Second Impression Inverted and Quadruple Split (UX10a var, USPCC S10a var). Mint card, offset of another impression on back VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE POSTAL CARD ERROR, SHOWING ONE NORMAL IMPRESSION AND AN INVERTED IMPRESSION QUADRUPLE SPLIT. THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED. Accompanied by 2009 P.F. certificate stating "Genuine Scott UX10a, the card miscut, with one complete impression inverted, and portions of four cards printed normally." Whether the central impression was the first "normal" impression, which makes more sense to us and matches the Scott Catalogue listing, or the quadruple split was the first "normal" impression and the center was printed inverted as stated on the P.F. certificate, cannot be conclusively proven. However, this is of little consequence. Collectors can display this card in either orientation as it suits their tastes. We have not seen another example of this error and this may well be unique.
