Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>There's a Newsboy Cabinet on ebay and I was wondering if anyone could offer their opinion or expertise as to wether or not they think that this is original or if it's a photo that has been adhered to a Newsboy Cabinet mount. I suppose it possible that this was the way it was originally mounted way back when:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1895-NEWSBOY-CABINET-178-J-J-JACK-DOYLE-NY-GIANTS_W0QQitemZ180036833150QQihZ008QQcategoryZ868 39QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1895-NEWSBOY-CABINET-178-J-J-JACK-DOYLE-NY-GIANTS_W0QQitemZ180036833150QQihZ008QQcategoryZ868 39QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>to me. Without having it right in front of me, I can't be 100% for sure but I'd be pretty sure it's real. Check out sellers return policy to be sure they offer some recourse if you don't like the card. Reserve is $1700. Pricey but not really out of line for that card in that condition I'd think. I had 4 of them with printing from Baum&Bernstein Clothiers and some foxing that I sold for $8K back about 4-5 years ago on ebay. They were NRMT but just some very light foxing. The printing was on the front of the card at top and bottom. While it was somewhat distracting, it was pretty neat.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>If you mean the photo overlapping the logo, that is a condition I've seen on boxing Newsboys. It isn't an indicator of a fake.
