As referenced above, the first test administered should be the blacklight test. Very simple to do, and will easily determine whether it is vintage. The cardboard will "fluoresce" (light up) if it's a modern reproduction piece.
After this is done, we can have a far more intelligent conversation as to it's actual age/original purpose/etc. Please let us know how it turns out, as the majority here tend to be skeptical (typically with good reason). My initial belief was that the Hassan piece is an obvious reproduction, while the DiMaggio/Williams piece might just be a different version of the Heritage Poster. Of course if they came from the same consignor, it would certainly cast more doubt.
Would love to be wrong, and eager to see what the blacklight test reveals... Thanks!
