Default Just a few things to add

Hey Eric, sorry the card was misrepresented to you. These are the things that bothered me on my initial viewing…as mentioned before, the type is very black and unbroken while the rest of the card has breaks. This was a yellow flag to me…there are times that a scan/scanner for whatever reason can create a distorted…so it is not a full disqualification. The thing that jumped out to me was that there are subtle differences in the typeface and the typeface you would expect to be used in the early 1940s. There are also incidences in the kerning (space between letters) that would indicate it was computer set and not hand set, especially between the V and the A and to a lesser extent the B and the A.
