Saw in a 2005 auction catalog a sheet with the round space hologram missing the hologram. Maybe Superior-Regency...

Here's one to add to the list:
  • C76 - red rose omitted.
  • C76 - Tagging omitted.
I know of no website list for space errors,
my suggestion is get a copy of "Scotts Specialized Catalog of US Stamps and Covers" as it lists the major errors for all the stamps, just look up the space issues and you can make your own list.

This book may be of help too. A book published by Amos Advantage, called "2003 Catalogue of Errors on US Postage Stamps" that lists errors on U.S. postage stamps from 1857 to 2002 and gives the value.

Anyone have a picture of what 1570d yellow omitted looks like?
