Any Information About 1951 J.D. McCarthy Postcards?
 

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I recently picked up the JD McCarthy postcard pictured below. There are several oddities about it. First, it's postmarked 1951, which was earlier than I thought the first McCarthy's were issued. Second, it's 1/8" larger in both directions than a standard postcard. Third, it has a facsimile autograph on the front that is clearly part of the card design. I had never seen a McCarthy like this. Last, in the credit line on the back, it lists J.D. McCarthy's nickname "Charlie." I've never seen that before either. <br /><br /> Are any of you familiar with this type of J.D. McCarthy postcard? I've only owned a few J.D. McCarthy's, so maybe some of the oddities I've mentioned are quite common.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1198690099.JPG"> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1198690123.JPG">

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>I dont know much about these cards....<br /><br />I do have a Kaline with a 1954 postmark that has the exact same design on back including the "Charlie". <br /><br />I also have a Minoso but it doesnt have the "Charlie" and its postmarked 1955.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Thanks. Are yours slightly oversized (3 5/8 x 5 3/8 instead of 3.5 x 5.5)?
