Toporcer is not listed as a known subject in D350-1 or D350-2 or the E121 Series of 80.<br /><br />Torporcer is in E121 but with his name mispelled as "Topocer."<br /><br />My Torporcer is roughly the same size as the Wood (2" x 3/14/") but looks like it could be hand cut along the left border. It is also darker in color, almost as if it was a stained reprint. But who would reprint a card that isn't known to be in any of the D350 sets?<br /><br />Any thoughts?

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Sorry to tell you but the darker one is a fake. The Wood is authentic. I have owned a couple myself and were burned on them about 5 years ago. <br />They are similar to the Kendig/Opie Dildock fakes.<br /><br />The authentic D350-3 cards are printed in dark black ink, not stamped and have a design around the back info that is 2 thin lines (dashes) then a thick line (dash), repeated.<br /><img src="http://centuryoldcards.com/images/d350-3b.jpeg"><br /><br />PS. there are 2 different D350-3 backs one says "80 to the set" the other says "80 photographs"

Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>Thanks for confirming what I suspected, Frank. The card cost next to nothing eight years ago so I'm really not out anything.
