Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>I recently saw a Wm Patterson card on Ebay. I found mine and noticed it was yellow/sepia and glossy in comparison. Is mine legit?<BR><BR>My card is Carey, card from Ebay - Daubert:<BR><BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1053531731.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1053531863.JPG">

Posted By: <b>brian parker</b><p>Glen--the cards I have seen from this issue always have been black and white photos. This doesn't mean that your sepia Carey is a fake--seeing the scan before reading your message, it just looked 'funny' to me because it wasn't black and white.<BR><BR>Brian

Posted By: <b>RobertS</b><p>Here is one which was sold by Mike Wheat, depicting John McGraw, and it is most definitely sepia, as well...and most certainly comes from a reputable dealer:<BR><BR><img src="http://www.vintageball.com/files/paterson.jpg"><BR><BR>I hope this helps...<BR><BR>Robert

Posted By: <b>RobertS</b><p>Also, notice the Daubert card in the scan (in the first posting in this thread)has an extra number '8' that is larger than the other printed number.<BR><BR>The two sepia cards shown in this thread only have one number each...<BR><BR>I don't know what this means, but it is definitely a variation.<BR>

Posted By: <b>Eric Eichelkraut</b><p>Like a few other vintage issues, this one was most likely produced on two different types of stock, using two different printing presses (York Caramels did this as well). I think both are types are legitimate. This could mean that the card was produced at two different points in time (2 or more years), and/or the original stock was used up and the second stock was then used.<BR><BR>Another thought I had was that they were possibly produced at two different locations, using different prints and cardboard. I haven't recieved the Daubert that I won yet, but I can definately give you a more accurate description of it when I take a closer look.<BR>E.
