Your print came out of the archive I work with. There are many examples with handwritten notes on the back. Who wrote the notes and when is certainly debatable. I�d have to pull multiple and examine them closely to determine if there are any handwriting matches.

Thanks Andrew, for the added information. I was kind of joking - I always do that if one of my uninteresting esoteric threads goes a day or two with no response.

I was able to compare the handwriting to a few others that had the 'Thompson' look. I was hoping that this thread would get a few Thompson print owners to check the backs of their prints, get excited when they saw the handwriting matched mine, and post. I was further hoping that the ones with what I consider Thompson's 'look' would be the ONLY ones with the handwriting mine has, which could have been a clue that he did not handle so much the prints created by his news service.

But with no data...

It�s definitely worth looking into. I bet there are some examples to look at just from the shots I�ve got on my phone. I�ll take a look tonight and post if I come across anything interesting.

I can tell you that for the portrait images those definitely have the same handwriting for the player ID�s:
