Nice card!

I was not as close to the card as it appears in the photos. I got as close as I could with the lens and then cropped a small area from the photo after that. I set the camera to capture the images in a large file so little quality would be lost when cropped, however, some quality loss was unavoidable.

The link to the Legendary Auction item showed an authentic Fro Joy that had gaps in the corners of the small boxes on the card backs. Therefore, the link to the old thread that I posted contained misinformation, and that information was a factor in my deeming my card counterfeit.

So basically, I'm now trying to make sure mine is a counterfeit because I owe this guy some money if it isn't, although I have attempted to obtain his address, etc, but he will not reply. Also, like I mentioned, he said he was selling it from one town and shipped it from another in a different state. I did not expect it to look so much like the 1917 postcard.

I'm off today so I'm going to get some cards from different years out and take the same type photos. Any card issues in particular would be good for these comparisons?
