Not the best scans, but thoughts anyway?

hard to tell
Hard to tell from the scan but the paper should be just like photographic paper on the front. Very glossy paper. I see little bits of crackling which is good unless it's a copy of a good one.
Personally I haven't seen the ones that have been soaked but it sounds reasonable that it would remove the gloss.....

T222
Nice Johnson.
It looks good to me; Leon's cautions make sense to consider. i've compared it as best I can with the Lapp T222 that i have in hand and the ostensible lack of gloss on the Johnson is the only thing that might make me a bit careful. best, barry

The T222s are thin paper photos. As they are photos not ink and printing press prints, there is no printed dot pattern in the front image, nor on back. They are usually glossy or glossier on front and matte on back.

Maybe this is so obvious that no one's mentioning it...
Have you actually seen this Johnson Fatima card in person? They have color to them, kinda sepia. I could envision a monochrome fake that looks like that one, and such a fake might fool someone. The wear looks typical for the issue. It looks like a B&W scan of a real one. And a copy would look like that, too. If you look at the back of the card (not that scan of the card but the card itself) there should be no toning where it looks like the paper isn't flat. These Fatimas are quite thin. Thin photographic paper. If you haven't seen that Johnson Fatima in person, ask the guy to send you a color scan. Last edited by FrankWakefield; 11-06-2009 at 03:50 PM.
