Strictly speaking, we can only be 100% certain once one of us finds this sticker on a banana and confirms it with 5✓ verification.
The green variation already has 10 confirmations and most collectors agree it does not match the regular chiquita brand specifications, but not all. So it may also be a misprint. In contrast, the red version is clearer - all collectors who examined it agree it is not a regular banana label.
Until a verified on-fruit example is documented, classifying it as a misprint remains the most plausible conclusion.
In addition, our collector friends from CR&EC have strong contacts with printing companies and many labels from these countries are just waste of the printing process.
The red version was used before Christmas (repeatedly several times)...
This one is underprinted - the light blue color is missing. By co-printing purple and blue, a dark blue is created.
I'm curious, how do we know this is a misprint and not an intentional variation? (Asking this because a green variation exists and is not labeled as a misprint)
This label belong to the jubilee 100 years sets. I added the jubilee catalog entry, so this label is displayed in both catalog entries. OK?
