T216 Font Size Question

[aljurgela]

Quick question for some of the experts out there....

have noticed that checklists and catalogs for T216 refer to a Large Print and Small Print variations for McGraw, Crawford and sometimes Mathewson. Does that refer to the size of the font? If so, what size is the large and what size is the small?

On the few copies that I have seen the font seems to be the same, but it seems the SGC differentiates the font on (at least some) of their slabs. I have seen a couple of cards listed as "Large and Small", but they look the same to me.

Thanks.

There could be differences in font but I am unaware of them. Somehow, I think whomever's catalog or list it is, might have been thinking about the T216 back differences (though they are not font differences). Maybe someone will know definitively...The few I checked online didn't seem to have different front font sizes...

+1… guessing this is a reference to the reverse.

I think this is what you are looking for. Here are two Mathewsons (not my cards), notice how the name on the PWCC one starts further to the left (bottom) and ends further to the right (top) and the top of the letters are closer to the image. Also note that the Crawford card comes with the position with and without a space "c. f." & "c.f." I don't recall if either of these variations are back specific or not though. I'm sure Steve will give better, more definitive, info.

Thanks DJ...in fact they are different. Learn something new every day. (*and I will forget soon after)...

Thanks DJ...Al, I tried to collect that set for many years and I wasn't totally sure what that meant...Jerry
