Name Boxes on T207 Cards

Well despite my best efforts, I can't get the PSA Birmingham to show up large enough. But here's a link to it where can see an enlarged picture.

It's an interesting topic, and I love T207's. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just playing devil's advocate. If I see convincing evidence I'll be very happy!

Haha, I don't know that there will be any forthcoming, Scott. It's just something I noticed the last couple of years in chasing these and when I ran a search on it, was surprised that I could not find record of it being discussed before. Not sure anything conclusive will ever come out of it and I don't know what to make of it. But I've seen several of these and others no doubt have them. Will be good to see some others' and how they compare with other copies.

The really fascinating thing to me is that the Dean's reprint of the set used the colored boxes with this exact same color. I'd love to know how that decision was made and I'm guessing they had to have seen some of these before. It's too big of a coincidence otherwise.

Here's one of their reprint cards.

Okay, had a chance to take a closer look at some of these and tried to find two with the same type of print quality. I found this Lord and Donnelly, which look pretty close. The Lord is the one with the orangeish box, which hopefully shows up clear enough. It's not quite as pronounced as the Austin is on my screen but does show a colored box. Would be interested to see what others people might have.

I always noticed the difference but never gave it much thought. I figured it was common knowledge. I'm not a collector of T207's so it didn't matter much to me and I have see many of both types so I figured there would not be any price premium to cash in on. I do prefer the look of the white box variation.
