My initial take on them is they are legitimate (can't be positive from scans) but maybe later than 1912?. I have handled numerous cards that had that kind of lithography on them and they were from the 1930s. The 1930s manager postcards come to mind. The stamp and other attributes, in person, should be able to help identify the year of mfg. Sweet pick up for someone, to me, even if they were printed in the later era.

IMO someone just stole a fantastic lot of legitimate postcards. Wish I'd seen them.

Heh...guess I didn't edit, I just quoted myself. Newbie mistake.  edited again to add: The last year you could send a postcard for one cent was 1951...these obviously pre-date that.

I was an underbidder because I felt they are clearly reprints. If you closely read the auction description, they were created at some point by a local, well known Carlisle collector who put his name on the back. My guess is that they were created sometime in the 70's or 80's.

Like I said, I have been looking for a Thorpe returns to Carlisle shot putting postcard for my personal collection for a while now. I definitely searched eBay a couple times within the past week to see what new items had been listed, but I usually set my filter at $50 or $75 to filter out modern junk.

I don't believe they are real. I own the Thorpe postcard and the ink has a blue tint, with no "courtesy of..." text.

Real one...
Here is my real one, cream colored card stock, with blue ink. Those just sold on ebay were reprints.
