Default Seals Postcard

These two auctions are for the same postcard (note the staining on the back).

I had one up on ebay as a BIN but removed it when I saw these two auctions, before realizing it was the same card, I doubted the authenticity. Both sellers did a lousy job presenting the card, the first auction scanning in B&W and the second using a camera image. In both cases the image appears darker and the detail of the players faces are blacked out, also the focus isn't sharp. Another Net54 member was able to obtain a clean scan of the card and after reviewing that image I was comfortable with the card being genuine.

As for rarity I think Rhys is spot on.

I think I first saw this postcard in Dick Dobbins book and really thought it was spectacular.
