The E98 Old Put is not even close in my opinion. ALL of the other Old Puts are consistent with the color of ink, boldness, clarity around the edges of the lettering, etc. as the two that Quan posted above the Jennings example. And the green front? I'm not buying it.

The E98 card is definitely real, but the stamp was added later. I'm not saying anything against the gentleman selling the cards. For all we know the stamp could've been added in 1975, but it's not period.

The E94 Overprint lettering is all wrong and I don't think it's legit either. Look at where it says, "Eat Close's Candies" under the top line "Oh You Fan." The "Eat Close's Candies" line is suppose to end at the beginning of the N in "Oh You Fan." The line in this seller's example extends all the way to the end of the N. The text is too large in all the wrong places.
