1989 Fleer Treadway w/ Target

I haven't owned a 1989 Fleer Jeff Treadway "w/ Target" version in over 20 years.  That changed last week with this most recent pickup.  I like the addition of two horizontal print alignment marks on the upper corners.  Something different!  Off centered top to bottom (in this example) is a plus!

The 'Target' is a print registration or alignment mark used for one of the colors (blue/cyan) in the process.  Obviously, something got messed up and the symbol wasn't removed before printing.  Probably just a quality control issue at Fleer (surprise!).  These 'error' cards were actually a mid to late print run defect and not an early 'error' issue - like the FF or Randy Johnson cards.
