You know, one of the odd questions I had about the Morrisania image that was up for auction was that the player names and the Morrisania title were both on thin paper and glued to the image. Typically, that kind of printing was done on the cardboard backing and would be expected to be thick cardboard. However, looking at the NY Public Library version it appears that the cardboard mount is not cardboard at all. Oddly, it looks more to me like the albumen image is attached to paper. That is probably why the glued on title and player names look so thin on the ebay auction image.
