Images of cards rarely seen!

[timedetective]

As far as the Pinkerton Postcards go I found a thread here last night from a year ago saying that if the backs are gray or white then they are copies but if they are creamy white then they are originals. Also there is some distinction between made in the us and printed in the us?

I think that the backs on my look more creamy than white is because they had been in a photo album or on somebodies wall for decades. So not 1913 but possibly post WW2 copies?

And is there any insight to these other cards that anyone can give me?

I am looking on sending them all off to a private auction house.

Thanks in advance

It strikes me that the wrestling verbiage is a little odd, as this depicts cards 31-34 and 36-39, a 1st series ad. Unless I’m horrible misremembering, the handful of wrestlers only appear in what is said to be series 2. Interesting, hadn’t noticed that before.

These W503 cards of Bill Ryan and Aaron Ward have great, sharp, full body action poses with stadium backdrops.

These store displays are not rare per se, but definitely not something that you see every day.
