Page 1 Misplaced & Major Re-entries
There are a great many re-entries on the lower values of the Admiral Issue. Many of these are recorded and illustrated in George C. Marler’s masterwork, THE ADMIRAL ISSUE of CANADA, published by the American Philatelic Society in 1982. As wonderful a resource as this is, it was based mainly on examination of the Proof sheets held by the Postal Archives in Ottawa. It therefore does not take into account the many instances when the plates were re-entered, and thus a far greater number of re-entries exists than is covered by this book. It does, however, provide a fine foundation on which to base a collection of Admiral re-entries, as long as you realize you are likely to find many re-entries not included by Marler.
This second page continues with Major Re-entries. The third page is for lesser Re-entries.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, I believe that for a re-entry to be considered 'major' it should show evidence of a strong shift and usually doubling of some of the lettering, as opposed to just framelines or bits of spandrels. A major does not necessarily have to show doubling of a large area of the design, but in many cases can just be confined to a narrow strip across the design. Many such examples will be found below.
A 'normal' or minor re-entry is usually the case when the transfer roll is a little 'out of alignment' or shewed, while a misplaced entry shows elements of design well away from their normal positions.
I would be grateful for 1200dpi scans of any other misplaced or really major items you may have for inclusion here.

Major Re-entry 28
Plate Position
This one shows a vertical line outside the lower left frameline, which often indicates a skewed re-entry, but there are no other elements of re-entered lines that I can see, so this might just be a layout mark on the plate.

Major Re-entry 35

This one shows a nice band of doubling across the design, in and below 'CA' of CANADA and in and above 'GE' of POSTAGE. There is also doubling in the RNB of the bottom of the '!' and lower frame.

Major Re-entry 37
Plate Position
This one is similar to the above, but instead of the inner lower frameline, this has doubling of the outer lower frameline, as well as the bottoms of both 1’s, parts of the upper lines of the numeral boxes, slightly in ONE CENT, with a heavy line joining the tops of ‘NT’.

Major Re-entry 38
Plate Position
This one shows very distinctive doubling in the ‘GE’ of POSTAGE, and outside the right margin.
This was just found in a wholesale bundle of 100 that I got from a lot of 10,000 Admirals from the UK.
