It is just bad for card scholarship to have this amount of misinformation and confirmation bias (by Brian) out there.
I echo Jeff’s thoughts on this being a painful thing to watch.

Rhett,
Still referring you back to post 240 which you haven't answered.

A typographical specimen booklet containing borders and ornaments for casting on the Lanston Monotype Composition Caster, Lanston Monotype Type-Caster, Lanston Monotype Giant Caster and Monotype-Thompson Type-Caster. This booklet is from a Lanston Monotype specimen book (binder) bearing the general title "Monotype Type Faces."
It is undated, but based on internal evidence elsewhere in the binder it is from the late 1930s or early 1940s.
So, buying Herpolsheimer cards supposedly from 1921 with backs from the late 1930s or early 1940s is a good investment?
