AnthonyThe '39's all (or most) have variations in the case of the type of the names, which to me would mean at least a second printing. This would seem to account for the variation in ink that you showed.
MW- have you noticed one or the other being rarer or more collected? Do the "sample card" overprints occur with both variations, or just one?
When I was a kid (early 70's) there was a card shop in Hollywood, Adco. Every '39 any of us ever got had the overprint on it. Wonder if this was a regional thing?
