I found these two scans last night. Look at the trimmed Keefe it has a blank back and I don't believe it is in a holder. Compare it to the Gold Coin Keefe. And then these two to the Smiling Mickey Welch. I will say imho all three were drawn by different hands. And yet the second blank backed Keefe was sold as a Gold Coin. By guess Who...PWCC. It is easy to say that any blank backed card that is similar to a Gold coin is "from an Ad" but this thread is asking the question is this card an uncataloged Buchner. When there are solid examples of Buchner Ad's and they use the same images as the card.
The Welch and the trio that accompany it are interesting cards. But they are not Buchners.
