Looks blue to me

Figured we could use one more thread on this card. Thanks to Josh at H&S for getting the scans.

Nice scan.

The back is absolutely blue

Boy, that's beautiful.

I am curious as to what people think of this...this card (from ebay)...has the exact same idiosyncratic wear...broken upper right border (can't recall seeing much of that on t206's...but I haven't really looked for it either)...also the spot of Red on the uniform. I don't know what I think now ;-)

Forgot to mention...back is a piedmont...factory 25. Maybe they printed the old mill backs after the piedmonts (that is nothing but wild speculation) ;-)

I can't chime in about blue or not, but with the hi-res scan, the card definitely looks a bit overgraded as a 30 with its creases and heavy wear. That's obviously not the deciding factor in anyone purchasing this card or not, but I've seen nicer looking 20's than this 30.

what's up with the dots in the C-H-I-C-A-G-O lettering. i'm not sure if I've ever seen this before on this card?

NEVER MIND!!!!!

That is not the same card imho. On a quick glance of the upper left corner it is clear.

Very interesting. None of the other Walsh cards on eBay have the red dot or the break in the upper right border. Also, see the white dot above the back of his head? It is on both the blue back card and the one posted by Mac, but none of the others.

Does anyone here own that Walsh or have a tag on it in the psa registry?

Looks good to me in the scan, just like it did in person under a lighted loupe. Is it possible to line it up with a black Old Mill like in the other thread. It would be more meaningful now with a good scan.

+1 Leon, I was quite impressed when I saw the scan.....oddities and backs are my thing, too bad the price tag is WAY out of my reach

I'm fairly certain the intent was to show that the missing border and dot are not anomalies (like the blue back) and likely just an issue with a plate..which these examples might have all been printed from.

There are several with the flaw. Someone pointed these other examples out.
