Default 1921 W-UNC Self Developing Strip Cards

Posted By: Josh K.

Funny that this message was resurrected since Ive just recently had discussions about selling my alexander to another board member. Regardless, I like Leon mentioned above, cannot neither confirm nor deny that the card is actually self-developing and am relying solely on what is noted in the standard catalog. I will say, however, that there are a couple of things that make it more likely than not it is self-developing. First, the picture is not printed (in otherwords it does appear to be a photograph). Second, if you look closely - particularly at Leon's Hornsby, it appears that the developing process stopped about an 1/8th of an inch before it should have at the bottom of the card (cutting off hornsbys leg at the knee). Finally, the card just doesnt look like any traditional card Ive handled.
