Unless I have been mistold, the real T5s are real photo, while the others are photoengraving prints (dots in the image under magnification). The T5s appear with photographs pasted to substantial and lesser mounts. In some cases the photographs without any backing appears on the market. These are more valuable than the photoengravings, though less valuable than the mounted T5s.

I suspect that the Pinkerton postcards and scorecards are different issues-- either issued at differernt times by the same printer or, more likely, issued by different printers. It would simply be a case of different issues uusing the same images (ala T206s and caramel cards). I had two of the Pinkerton postcards, and both were on very hefty cardstock.
