Hello all.
I know this an oddball set, but I hoping we have a few experts out there that can shed some light on a few questions.
A few years back I bought one of the 4 cards raw. (Jackie Robinson) I had it graded and it came back a 2.5.
Just recently I saw one come up on eBay with a different back than the one I had. It has the schedule on the left and a post card back on the righthand side(says post card and has place to write etc.), where the one I already had has the schedule on the left side, and directions to Ebbets field on the right.
Now, doing a little research, it seems there were 3 different backs to these. The 3rd version has ticket information.
I ended up buying the 2 versions with the post card back.
My Questions:
1. Does anyone know if the Jackie Robinson also comes with the 3rd back?
2. Are any of the backs more common or more rare than the rest? It seem like the post card back is vary rare compared to the directions version, but I could be wrong.
3. Are all of them the same size? Or supposed to be the same size? Both postcard versions I got are about 1/16 inch more narrow than the other version. I was thinking this may be so it is a standard size postcard? (5.625 x 3.5, not sure if this IS a standard size, just guessing))
4. Will PSA differentiate the different backs on the label? The one I have graded does not say anything about which back it is.
The label just says this:
1952 BROOKLYN DODGERS
JACKIE ROBINSON
SCHEDULE CARDS
