Default Question regarding M101-5 'The Sporting News'

Posted By: Todd (nolemmings)

I'm attempting to insert a scan of m101-5 reprint Walter johnson for comparison.

Is it possible there is a typeset variation? Note the short dash between P and Washington, as well as how far below the frame the text is located. Can the authentic WJ look like this too- as some sort of variation?

I have compared the Frisch reprints to a vast majority of authentic m101-4 specimens (I don't collect m101-5s per se)and this is the only card where I have seen this dash difference. Maybe the original comes with both short and long dash. Although that is hardly enough for alot of excitement, maybe youz with the real deal can look and tell us what size dash is shown.
