Frank WakefieldI tried to post earlier but the site seemed mired up...
When I got my second Mathewson white border tobacco card, I noticed the difference between the white cap and dark cap wasn't just the color of the cap. It took me several minutes before I picked up on that. I had never noticed the difference until I owned one of each. That was nearly 20 years ago. A good aspect of the internet today is that a fellow can see images of all of these cards right at home. Difficult to see so many cards in the old days.
I did not attribute it to different artists, but rather different (although similar) photos being used to create the lithographs. I guess it could be a different artist. But not necessarily.
Good stuff, guys.
