Ruth Postcard pick-up

Here is a Cyko-backed PC from 1910 that is 100% legit. Look at the difference in back printing and image clarity.



To my eye yours is a 2nd generation image and a stamped back.

Was comparing the back print

For future reference, I would image the real photo postcard stock from a year would be very similar across the board for a manufacturer. Not only was it factory manufactured, but it was special photographic paper not regular paper. May have a consistent thickness. Though there may be special finishes-- ala smooth or matte.

Isn't BlackItalian Joey Fatino or whoever? That's whose photobucket these images were on.

Here are the two fakes I mentioned earlier - one of them is a dead ringer of the Ruth just posted.

Did Joey finally go legit, or is this another 'fishing for suckers' thread?
