Posted By: <b>Richard</b><p>I think that the size of the back printing looks small when compared to the size of the front image. The front image is almost to the edges while the back is very small. Shouldn't the back image be much bigger?

Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>The back is much too white (period!), but shows extreme corner and edgeware, selectively placed, and extensive staining--all in one card. The front shows the same extreme edge and corner ware and staining--but somehow, none of the stains made it to the green..strange. It's more doctor than card!<br /><br />How could anyone mess with a card enough to wear the corners down to the picture?In fact, how WOULD you achieve that much cornerwear? Without a nailfile...

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>It appears that the owner of this card took a brand new crisp reprint and rounded down the edges and corners, then he applied browning to them.<br /><br />If you do not recognize this right away - be very careful. Because this is a very amateurish job of card ageing. There are many way better phoneys out there.<br />
