1909 Obak Variation

[brianp-beme]

As I mentioned in a prior post, the 1909 Obak set seems to have some funky spacing issues in the obverse printing. I found the following three that, like the McCredie, have abnormal spacing. The Ragan and Reidy are both the frame back version, and as can be seen have a really large gap before the team name. The Mundorff, a no frame back example, is less obvious, but has more spacing between the 'San' and the 'Francisco' than is seen on the other San Francisco cards in the set. Perhaps all three were only printed this way, but since the McCredie card also has awkward spacing I thought perhaps collectors could check their versions to identify whether there might be other variations like Anthony has spotted.

Also, all of the San Francisco cards have the full designation of 'San Francisco' on the card except for the following, which have 'S.F.' : McArdle, Mohler, J.Williams, R.Williams. Spotting an unknown variation for these cards would be a long shot, as this would be much more obvious than just a missing 't', but heck, it is worth mentioning.
