E107 McCarthy

Looks like an uncatalogued Type 2 to me, Darren.

Out of curiosity, is the back blank on the Authentic one?

There are two different fonts on the type 1's which does make the captions shorter or longer on several of the cards. This does however look like a type 2, with the darker grey stock.

After looking at the original auction in 2010 the cards all appear to be type 1's and it IS a different abbreviation.

Darren, can you post a scan of the back? If it looks like grayish cardboard stock, I'd say that what you have here is an uncatalogued type 2. There were font/caption inconsistencies on several cards between the type 1s and type 2s

I don't think it is going to be much help:

Here is a similar comparison from a Type 1 and Type 2 Keeler. Note the alignment of the font compared to his jacket as well as the cardboard color difference.

I'm still thinking that the number of known Type 2s just went from 9 to 10 and the master set grew by 1.

The thing that is interesting to me on the McCarthy, aside from the font and color differences, is the right side border thickening/smudging on both cards (just above ear level).
