Postcard Question
This was posted on the SGC boards, but nobody had an answer. Here are two postcards that are identified by SGC as being from the same issue, but they are clearly different. Can anybody help clear up the confusion? Thank you!

Hey David,
I saw the thread on the SGC boards and was thinking that maybe it is possible that there are different variations of the H.M. Taylor postcard? I can't give an example now, but I believe I have seen postcards that are ever so slightly different being labeled the same. Rob |
OldCardobard has the second one listed as a Taylor

Looks like an identical image with a little different font, not sure if the shading/color difference is just due to the lighter exposure of the photo when one was printed as compared to the other. Basically, the same thing in my opinion.

The dog is looking in a different direction :D
Looks like a few postcards used it http://i.imgur.com/mkS0T.jpg http://i.imgur.com/TQh8z.jpg I think the OPs card is a true Taylor http://i.imgur.com/mU8da.jpg Second image is slabbed as Anonymous Postcard and not a Taylor http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...x?lotid=111336 |
