Dietsche postcards on uncut sheets

[drumback]

I found this ad from the Detroit Free Press 1907. Did not know the Dietsche postcards were available on uncut sheets. Are there any out there in the hobby somewhere? There was a similar ad for the Tigers set on the same page.

I once had one I traded in the 1990’s. I got it so cheaply and could not find ant others I was afraid it might not have been authentic. Your ad shows it was and proves I am frequently an idiot.

Not too familiar with postcard issues, but I wonder if these Dietsche postcards are sometimes found with uneven border cuts, which would indicate that some of these sheets got ordered and then cut up.

bgar3, was that sheet you had blank backed?

Don't beat yourself up over it, the highlighted portion of your post refers to each and every one of us on Net54.

Pretty cool, I have not seen any uncut sheets.

Yeah, my question would be, would it have been an uncut sheet, or a poster with the same poses?

[drumback]

Good question. I had not thought of that possibility.

Brian, I believe it was blank backed. I do not remember any postcard info or anything on the back. Having said that, it was 30 or more years ago.

Thanks, in my mind that makes it likely it was one of the 'sheets' that they were advertising for sale, and not just a production sheet that was never cut down into individual post cards.

If you can recall, was the sheet of postcard thickness material and laid basically flat, or was the paper thin like a poster and thus would naturally roll up into tube shape?

To me it seems that cut down individual blank backs of these would be out there...anyone have any?


And for the real memory test...what did you have for breakfast on the day you obtained it?

Brian, I do not remember it being on thin paper, and likely coffee and some sort of cheerios. 😁. I do remember the guy I traded it to, told me he sold or traded it to a Cobb collector.

Bruce - Is the what you had, or was it an actual production sheet?

Here is a thread I posted some years ago, that some of you may find of interest.

I believe I had what you posted. Hope I did not confuse anyone.
