Help on an old T218 mystery...

[RCMcKenzie]

It looks like a regular T218 to me from the scan. Is it possible that the seller was not very familiar with the set, and wrote-up a misleading listing? Did the Goodman have a blank back, or just a scan of the front? Here's a sharp Goodman that I bought in Sterling a few years ago. T218's are generally on a fairly sturdy, or thick stock.

I have to agree, it's a crappy picture, but the stock doesn't look unusual to me.

It may well not be what it was described as. The terrible photo makes it hard to tell, as depth is normally the most difficult to tell element of a card even when photographed properly. This guy used to sell a lot of c. 1910 boxing and I got some T218's from him; he surely knew what a normal T218 was, but then again many sellers are completely dishonest. The distinctive tealish shade (missing a color pass? faded? chemical damage? I haven't successfully altered blue to this shade in tests) should help identify if anyone had it. Figured there was a decent chance someone here would remember or have it, as most of the active buyers of T218 oddities seem to post here.
