+1.

George Burke printed lots of photos with a matte finish that were real photos and had this texture. Here is my Dizzy Dean. The Dean, and many Burkes, is 4" x 6" and printed on cardstock like postcards - I see no reason why EKC couldn't have had this product line. In fact, when I first saw this I immediately wondered if this might be a Burke image.

This postcard has a texture, but it is not the texture of linen postcards, which have a cross-hatched or 'woven' texture, which gives them their name.

There are plenty of examples of photo papers that have a surface texture -- I'm thinking of 1970s color snapshots as an easy example for the over-50 set -- but I had not seen a RPPC with a texture like this before today. That authenticated example that sold in Hunt along with this one make a pretty good argument that they exist.

EKC photo postcard stock was a Kodak product. (EKC = Eastman Kodak Company). Any postcard on EKC stock is a photographic print.
