Just because we have JJK products stamped JJK on the back does not mean that all JJK products are stamped JJK. if the cards were offered on a wholesale basis, maybe the people ordering the cards had the option to skip the back printing for a cheaper price? If the cards were to be used as mail response cards for people requesting photos, for example. To my way of thinking, if the card front shows the same as the JJK card and the paper is the same, my suspicion is that the same printer made both cards but for different uses. That certainly is the case with the Felix Mendelsohn-produced set of 200 cards that was custom printed for 21 different businesses as well as released blank backed.

I agree, they definitely all could be printed by the same company possibly only for jjk. However jjk decided to brand their own and the others did not. Maybe even jjk stopped stamping their own, who knows. All you can really do with the historical information we have is make assumptions. If one has jjk on the back and one doesn’t I have to agree the one that doesn’t shouldn’t be considered jjk copyart. Imagine if somebody found a box of dads cookies exhibits but only half of them had the branding on the back, Would the other half be considered dads cookies? I personally don’t think so.
