Default Different Year, Different Card Company, Same Image.....

Posted By: Scott Dango

Its always interesting to see recycled images, especially when they are made by entirely different companies, are different sizes and have different styles....This differentiates them from cards using the exaxt same image (E90-1 and E102 "Set of 25" Hans Lobert for example)

How difficult would it have been in 1916 for The Sporting News (M101-4,M101-5) and all the companies who used those images that year (Famous & Barr, Herpolsheimer Co, and Bucyrus Brewing Co. for instance), to use a different image than the one already used two years ago by Cracker Jack....

Makes you wonder if Felix Mendelsohn owned all the image rights during the time or another person controlled the image market, or a person controlled Mendelsohn for that matter!

Post any examples if you would like....
