New scans
I've included new scans of the soaked Hoyt.
You'll notice that I didn't get off all of the scrapbook [see left side of scan, the written letter a, for example].
Also, when I soaked it, what I'm referring to as penicil markings were much darker--I thought it was the original surface, but apparently not--Apparently, there is still a very thin layer of something, glue, perhaps [?], over most of the rest of the card. I didn't want to rub any harder lest I destroy the integrity of the card. And I didn't think it was important to get off the rest of the scrapbook as the back of the card was marked anyway, and it wasn't going to improve the appearance.
Do I need to soak it again to prove that it isn't an E121? I wouldn't think so, but I could do it if enough of you think that I should.
Thanks again for all your help in this matter.
Doug
