Dr. Frackelton was not pleased with the pale color of the 1st printing and ordered a 2nd darker printing. The 5-cent grey and red stamp is very difficult to see the difference. However, the green .10 and blue .25 stamp is quite noticeably darker. The stamps are a simple 2 color design rectangle shape. And that is where the problems began. Within a few months the USPS sent a cease-and-desist order to Dr. Frackelton as the stamps could be mis-taken for regular postal stamps and thus the USPS would lose sales. This issue was designed by Dr. Frackelton.
