Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that's the point that Fred was trying to convey with the large scans.

I'll go ahead and say it. To me, the Brown appears trimmed and the the Young appears to have re-colored corners. The borders on Brown are too thin and no way Young has that much border wear, but barely any wear on the corners.

The gold borders on T205 cards flake easily, and can be exclusive to corner wear. It is possible that the corners have been recolored.

Default Thanks Guys---
-----for posting your thoughts. I never will be as expert on old tobacco cards as are MANY here on N54, which is why I posted the larger scans.

Doesn't the huge white borders & bottom line printing on Brown look very funny & unreal to anyone? It doesn't seem to be close to the printing on my Brown.

Hope others chime in--I'm just trying to educate myself!

Sorry for your loss guy. You don’t normally see so many great looking cards in one collection, wish you supplied better pics. I could be wrong, but I’m not feeling the black ink the names were printed in.

Does the McGraw CJ look a bit long to anyone else? Maybe just the angle.

Not sure about the printing being any different. Same placement, color and position. My pictures suck, but the writing when im looking at it in my hands seems to match exactly especially the color. Your card has perfect side to side centering while mine is off by a decent margin. The up and down seems a little skinny and suspect on the top of the card because our bottoms look very similar in regards to spacing I do agree. I could measure my card pretty accurately. When I hold it on its side and look at the sides themselves I just dont see any evidence of trimming, but again I have no idea. Thank you guys.

Edit: I put the brown card on top of the green cobb card to compare sizes and it looks the exact same size if not a nano meter(idk what to call it) bigger. Both side to side and up and down seems to be same size. Again I have no idea if that helps or if it proves anything.

It looks familiar but I just can't remember what it is. I PMed the OP for pics sent directly from their phone to my email. If they can do that it should be pretty easy to see what they are with full size pictures. Most cell phones take very high quality pictures. The ones that have been posted on here are good pics that have been greatly reduced in size.

It says Goober's

Most of my fathers cards came from Cooperstown and auctions from what I know. He built most if not all of the collection before I was born.

Goobers was a high end dealer and sometimes auction house in the late 1980's to early 1990's. San Francisco area father and son company.
