Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Hi, I was curious which of the 2 variations of the Portrait card was scarcer.<br /><br />If anyone has these cards, can you please post which one you have.<br /><br />The variation is some of the cards have small arrows pointing at the ball, while the other variation the arrows are missing.<br /><br /><img src=http://centuryoldcards.com/images/1921schapiraruthport.jpg><br />"No Arrows" variation<br /><br /><img src=http://centuryoldcards.com/images/schapiraball.jpeg><br />"W/Arrows" variation (sorry about small scan, arrows pointing down to ball from top corners)<br /><br />Thanks, Frank

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Hi Frank,<br />I am sure you might remember but I got this one from you. If the one you used for your example is this one then we have that much less of a sample size <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14> I think I have seen fewer ones without the arrows but that might only be a gut feeling from owning this ....<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1215660326.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Kyle</b><p>I think we emailed back and forth when I had my BVG graded one on eBay, but I've had two, still own one, both are with arrows. Images I found online when doing my own research came up with mostly pics of without arrows. So, its a crapshoot.

I just bought one with no arrows, would be interesting to hear about which one is more rare if any.
