Was sorting some old pictures and figured I would share this for anyone who needed a chuckle.

Back in 2009, my best friend bought me a 2010 Blackbook for my birthday after noticing that I had been using a 2001 RedBook as my go-to reference guide for coins. I was flipping through the book, when I noticed:

Oh,-The-Irony!

Oh,-The-Irony!

One section of the book was inserted about 1/4 of an inch too low, causing the bottom of the pages to get cut off. Ironically, this was the *entire* section about errors! The book is no longer in my possession, as I exchanged it at the book store for one that was printed correctly.
