Newsboy Cabinets

There's a Newsboy Cabinet on ebay and I was wondering if anyone could offer their opinion or expertise as to wether or not they think that this is original or if it's a photo that has been adhered to a Newsboy Cabinet mount. I suppose it possible that this was the way it was originally mounted way back when:

to me. Without having it right in front of me, I can't be 100% for sure but I'd be pretty sure it's real. Check out sellers return policy to be sure they offer some recourse if you don't like the card. Reserve is $1700. Pricey but not really out of line for that card in that condition I'd think. I had 4 of them with printing from Baum&Bernstein Clothiers and some foxing that I sold for $8K back about 4-5 years ago on ebay. They were NRMT but just some very light foxing. The printing was on the front of the card at top and bottom. While it was somewhat distracting, it was pretty neat.

If you mean the photo overlapping the logo, that is a condition I've seen on boxing Newsboys. It isn't an indicator of a fake.

I was wondering about the picture overlapping the Newsboy font.

Thanks Tom and Adam.

Adam completely.........have seen many of them overlapped. I have 4-5 battleships and some NYC scenes and a couple of them are overlapped.
