Not sure why the are called patent cards, though. They seem more like copyright samples. Can't imagine there was any patent involved, though perhaps the 'patent and trademark' office were/are one.

You had to send them in twice?

As others have said, the one on ebay is fake. You can tell by the space between the border and the stamp combined with the fact that the "C" and the "I" are cut off like on the original. The difference being that on the original the rest of those letters missed being stamped on the card as the stamp was not fully applied on the card whereas on the copy there is the space.
