Call for scans (PC-back Exhibits)

[Archive]

Posted By: Lyman

Greetings,

Adam Warshaw has written an extremely informative and very comprehensive article about the 1926-30 Postcard-back Exhibit set that we are planning to run in the next issue of Old Cardboard magazine. To fully illustrate the article, we need scans of three cards from the set. They are (1) Peckinpaugh Cleveland variation, (2) the Faber "solid background" variation and (3) the Todt "solid background" variation. If you have a scan of any of these cards (or know where we might be able to find one), please post here or send via email attachment to editor@oldcardboard.com.

Also, although not needed for the article, we need scans of the Pipp, Smith and Walburg cards to complete our image gallery. Once complete, we will post the full gallery on the Old Cardboard website.

Thanks much for any of these scans that you can provide.

I believe this is what they are talking about by solid background. The background has been cut away.

Neal and Rhett, thanks for your replys. Rhett is correct. In the (less common) solid background variation, the photographic background has been replaced with a solid color background except for the player and the name labeling at the bottom.

Neal, the Faber card with the photo background looks like this (disregard color):



The Faber or Todt card with the solid background will have an overall appearance similar to the Speaker card posted by Rhett.

Thanks again for your posts.
