One of my favorite subjects
Jim - You asked, so you shall receive. I own both of these examples. If you look close at the Abbaticchio, you can see "factory" backwards under Pittsburg. The Elberfeld is really unusual. The transfer is split, meaning it has two halves. Notice the "C" and "m" in the border near his glove. Then there is another partial transfer beginning on the left border. Currently I am still researching the Sweet Caporal wet sheet transfer subject and ironically the 11 players in that project also appear on cards with Tolstoi backs. Coincidence? Thats what I'm trying to figure out.
