Jeff - I have an advertising cut and it is on significantly thicker stock than the regular cards. I'll check the size of mine tonight vs. one of my 'regular' cards. Mine is the type with the Buchner advertisement on back, however, while yours appears to be the other blank-backed version, so even that might not help too much.

As you stated, just because it isn't a checklisted card doesn't mean it is not a legitimate poster cut. I haven't seen one of the blank-backed types in person so can't speak to your stock and how it should look/feel, as well as the size of it. You'd probably need someone with one of those to weigh in.

If it was produced for/by the Gold Coin company for advertising purposes, then it’s a genuine cut-out from a period banner, poster, counter card, etc. Even if it did not make if off the production floor (i.e. a proof), I’d still consider it to be genuine. Maybe that helps to explain the inaccuracies like color, striping, or whatever.

I still have two questions that I’d appreciate your help with –
(1) Can someone with a N284 advertising cut-out and a N284 series card verify that the cut-out card is slightly taller than the series card?
(2) Does anyone have an advertising cut-out card for a player not on the N284 series checklist?
