Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>Never held one of these, but seems to be printed in like-manner to the OJ's<br /><br />Was concerned about the text on this card. It appeared to have "run" as if a water soluble ink. Any thoughts? -Steve F<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1216596442.JPG">

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>I believe all the front text on the originals is in the photographic image, so there is no printed ink to run. It's a photograph of the text.

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>Sure is an Armpit indeed. My son Mike was the last employed Boston Globe paperboy in New England and earned $5k for college. Sadly, they have been phased out. for nearly 15 years now. <br /><br />I greatly appreciate all the evals on this card. <br /><br />I now wonder how many different news agencies are represented in this Issue... If anyone would like to post some N333 examples it would be terrific. Steve F
