Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>I recently purchased a Morgan Stationary "Red Belt" postcard entitled "After a High One" and upon recieving it today I am suspecting that it is not legitimate. The seller was also selling one that was postally used (which is probably why I didn't supect the one I purchased would have any problems). I am wondering if anybody has any information about this particular set being reprinted or not. I don't think there was any mal-intent on the sellers part he might just be unaware the item is bogus (assuming it is). I have owned these in the past (but don't still have any on hand) and this one just doesn't feel right and is missing the Morgan copyright on back. I have scanned front and back and blown up a portion of the front to show the printing. Any help would be appreciated.<br />-Rhett<br /><img src="http://starsofthediamond.com/07morgan1.JPG"><br /><img src="http://starsofthediamond.com/07morgan2.JPG"><br /><img src="http://starsofthediamond.com/07morgan3.JPG"><br />

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>I am not aware of Morgan Stationary being reprinted. Your card looks good to me. I've handled maybe 5-10 over the years. I only have one now (It's All in the Game "Noise")The lack of a copyright line may not be determinative of genuiness. Mine, graded by SGC, has no copyright line.<br /><br /><img src="http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g5/jacklitsch1/Postcards/MorganNoice.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g5/jacklitsch1/Postcards/MorganNoiceBack.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Rhett,<br /><br />I noticed the color of the print on your example is a yellow print, whereas, Steve's example is black. Did they print the backs in different color inks?<br /><br />Patrick

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>Patrick:<br /><br />The printing on mine is a burnt sienna color. Maybe Rhett's scan is just too light to show the color accurately or as you question maybe the print colors are different.<br /><br />If Rob still reads here maybe he can weigh in. I've traded several to him and he has one of the more extensive pc collections in the hobby.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Mark T</b><p>I remember that card form Ebay and i was going to offer the guy a best offer price but was worried about the color on "Post Card"..."for address only". I am not saying its a reprint and i have never seen a reprint Red Belt so its just my opinion. Have SGC grade it and if they say its real then it should get a nice grade. These are very scarce with NO writing on them. To tell you the truth, i don't remember ever seeing one with NO writing on it.<br /><br /> Steve got his Red Belt from me...hope you can get more and try and complete the set.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>PC778 Postcards come in either Gold, Brownish, or a Purplish color print on back. Some have the Morgan Stationery Co. line on back and some dont.

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>As I said I have handled these and the past and the back isn't what was really worrying me. The front just doesn't "feel" right. Maybe I am just forgetting things in my old age (joke) but the texture of the front just doesn't look like what I remember the ones I owned in the past looking like (no deep colors-all kinda flat and muted with a grainy appearance)<br />-Rhett

Posted By: <b>Mike Ellis</b><p>Rhett, I have the same card ("After a High One") in SGC 60 and it looks very much like yours on the front. My back is printed in brown and has a publisher line. I think yours looks good. Sorry don't have a scan today - but could maybe send one to you later. Mike

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Well, I guess I am willing to concede I am probably wrong, which isn't a bad thing. One of the things that really threw me is just how nice the condition on this card is.<br />-Rhett
