Hey, man, the Herald is piqued. How do you expect them to spell a name correctly, when they're in such an emotional state?

So does this mean my copy with the erroneous headline will be a collector's item?

If I had only kept up my paper subscription...

Someone put it on eBay and see what happens.

The collector value may be depressed because the Herald has had so many other print screwups. And surely more to come.

Sort of like when the post office accidentally distributed some mis-printed stamps and then printed thousands more so everyone could have them.

In any case, this week's edition wouldn't be as valuable as last week's, because there's no advertisement for the Obama Security Door.

Next Herald editorial?

"Save the Point! No concrete on the lakesuther."

Why make fun of a messed up headline? It is just a little paper.
