Default Rube Levy card - variations

Posted By: Mark Macrae

Leon,
The large group that Terry had a few years back were Type 3's. Under normal circumstances when some unusual variances / inconsistancies turn up, I automatically assume they are repros or fakes until proven otherwise. Terry's source however (someone you & I both know) found them around 30 years ago mixed in with a large paper ephemera collection native to Northern California. While they are likely prototypes of some kind, there is a reasonable assurance that they are both authentic & period.
