Tom BoblittThe ones on ebay are exactly the same but not aged to try to dupe someone. They are the same size. They were created by Robert Ball of Lexington, KY from original N173's. He had someone do paintings of them and then create the lithographs. They are printed on kind of rough paper.
The one pictured above looks VERY similar to the type of 'aging' that franks13 or btuttle does with putting glue on the back of the card and aging the front.
Mr. Ball has created a set of 10 limited edition postcards from the set of prints. The ENTIRE remaining inventory of prints, as well as the original oil paintings of the cabinets were sold in a Mastronet auction within the last 2-3 years. Believe there were 10-12 oil paintings but only 8 lithographs. They were made in two sets of 4 and sold that way. I would assume the seller on ebay is the person who purchased them from Mastronet or some other intermediary.
