Leaf Variation

I've never seen uniform detail on an Adams card like the stripes that are on the PSA5. If anyone has an Adams with uniform detail LMK. At my age I don't
want to get overexcited.

That is neat. They almost look penned on!!

It looks to be added to me. Have you looked at it under magnification?

Probably my PWCC card that sold for 20% less on election night than I bought it for from PWCC last year. LOL. Good luck. If it's worth thousands it will be just salt in my wound!

Yep; I'm betting the card is written on and somehow PSA didn't give it the MK designation. The lines on the sleeve look off, as well as the button flap down the chest.

Probably was yours as it ended on the 8th with PWCC. Did you ever look at it under magnification? I know nothing about Leaf cards but by using the zoom on my laptop it looks drawn on.

Yep. Looks like original photos are "touched up" before press time and then printed. My question is why wouldn't LEAF use the "touched up" photo for the entire run. They sure look better. Here's 2 more where the "touch up" was used, but for the entire production.(I think.) Dom's glasses and McCosky's sideburns were definitely added to the original photos.

Never looked at it under magnification. Was unaware it was even different.
