Ran into a retired architect at a print shop in Tacoma who said 'If your title block isn't perfect, nothing else matters.'

He pointed at a tiny, off-center revision cloud on my D-size sheet and asked if I'd let a two-cent pencil error sink a million-dollar reputation, which honestly changed how I check my own border sheets now.

Wasn't that a three cent pencil error?

Okay but calling it a "pencil error" makes it sound like a huge deal. It's just a tiny mark on a stamp, right? People act like it's some massive flaw that changes everything. I've seen stamps with way bigger printing issues that nobody cares about. It feels like collectors sometimes make a big deal out of nothing just to drive up the price.
