James, sorry if I came off as smart alecky. Below is a scan of an F&B back from m101-4. You can see how crisp the "St. Louis" and other words are printed. I also attached a scan of a Standard Biscuit card--mislabeled by PSA (easy Dan)--that most closely matches your card. It has no number, like Herpolsheimer, Holsum, E121 and W575--I erred previously in comparing yours to a E135, which of curse has numbers.

Like others mentioned, notice how there is a black frame around the photo that is lacking (or very very weak)on your card. Also, compare the font used in the "H" in Hoblitzell to that used in Chester and in Thomas--they are different. EDITED TO ADD: although your card's font/typeset appears to match up with E135.
