This is something you won't see every day ... hence the thread..

Recently I did a whirlwind trade with a prominent board member for the last of the M128s (Police Gazette) photo-cards I needed to go with the 1915 W-Unc's in my collection. Since only 1 each of these cards is known in the hobby today, I wonder what their relationship is to the M128s? It does seem obvious the M128 pictures were used for these cards. Could these cards have been prototypes for the series? Why are they so scarce today? Regardless of the answers I am very happy to have the final M128 needed added to the collection. The M128 Matty could also be considered his Rookie since it was produced in 1901. All of these M128s and 1915 W-Uncs are the same size respectively but the scans and pictures are all different.
