Typically, this card has a postcard back. Here's an example: Postcard Example
The coupon back normally does not appear until the 1931-32 Ruth Portrait Exhibit. Here is an example of a coupon back: Coupon Example. And here is an example of this card with a postcard back: Postcard Example. The regular 1931-32 Exhibits also have coupon backs: Link.
Does anyone know how why this card was dated to 1929? Perhaps, it should be dated to 1929-31 or even 1931-32 like the other Coupon back Exhibits. |
