Allen and Ginter lot on ebay?
 
Has anybody else seen this lot? Excuse my novice ability on 19th century cards, I'm really only well versed in 20th century material. And have never owned or handled any.
So, I have no idea if these are real. I have never seen legit looking paper loss on a fake, but who knows with cards this old. Could somebody enlighten me? Thanks.

Areas of Concern
 
The bottom cards do not have the proper fronts of the Anson and other ones still glued to the paper. The ones on top would seem to be legit, but due to the others, I am more skeptical.

This is what I assumed about the fronts, but didn't know if there was some variation I'd never seen. It seems like with over 30 watchers people are just waiting to see if others bid to feel safe to bid themselves. A poor tactic lol.

Cuts from the poster or the album. You could ID which one by comparing the borders carefully.

Shows what I know about this set. I'm thinking the lot is all genuine but won't be a bidder as it's not what I collect. Just saw the lot and wanted to learn about them.

I thought that album cuts were blank back.

They are. The bottom three cards referenced in post 2 are cuts from the album or poster. The backs are not shown in the auction listing because they are glued to a piece of paper. The front design is lacking the advertising and a little different because they are cuts.
