I know that there exists STS-11/41B lithos which were originally printed stating that the crew was to fly on Columbia, not Challenger. But until I saw one on eBay, I was unaware that the 41D litho, on its reverse, went through something similar.

The questions are: What was in the original block of text that required it to be blocked out, then rewritten? And do other, similar crew lithos exist, perhaps for the 41C crew?

I won this item on ebay so I'll let you know the content of that text (if i can decipher it) when the litho arrives.

I have our answer...
  1. The text is printed in portrait on the reverse of a landscape litho.

  2. The scrubbed text? You might be surprised to know that the words are identical to the displayed text... beats me why you'd do that but there you go.
