Frank WakefieldThe overprint is an interesting situation...
Obviously, American Litho took front and back printed, finished sheets, and 'added' to the back...
Is it possible that the overprint was because production was moved from a previously printed factory to the new factory??? If so, that could be why we now have overprints instead of just a new print.
Matt, I agree that the scrapbook scenario seems unlikely. I can envision a kid born about 1903 fooling with these cards in 1911 or 1912, putting matching backs on his 'team'. That seems MUCH more likely than factory rebacking.
