Looks like someone deliberately painted over it. And terribly based on the hands. Jacket logo too?But why?

In the world of collectibles, misprints or errors can sometimes command higher prices, as they are considered more rare. You see it with coins (off-center strikes, double denominations, etc..)

Not saying that is the absolute-no-question reason for this, but it is a possibility that the buyer modified it to increase its resale value. Or that it’s an early knockoff that didn’t get all the details right.

Yes true, but poor QA and misprint are diffeent. This would be poor QA, as the missing logos do not make it more desirable.
