I believe the one from the find has lost most or all of it's glossy coating, probably from decades of storage in a humid or damp environment and may have other environmental damage as well, fly specking, etc.

The font on the name sure is weird, but the back looks perfectly normal. For there to be funny business going on, it would have to be a reback using an already expensive card, then the doctor would have to risk sticking it to a sheet and risk soaking it. Very unlikely imo.
Also, cool to see the full sheet of cards. I own 9 of these and didn't know they all came from the same place.

I'm trying to think of how that would happen.
The closest I can get is maybe overinking along with too much water on the plate. There's a similar common problem on an engraved stamp, but it was because of a change in both the pigment and the type of press all at once, and was from almost 40 years earlier. By the time T207s were a thing it had totally been sorted out and as far as I know wasn't ever a problem on lithographed items. The idea that the glosscoat has been affected a lot might work too. If the gloss was printed on top of a still damp (ish) black, they might have combined and drifted as the gloss was affected, or the black slightly migrated into the gloss. Overall a very strange outlier.

Looking for additional feedback on these
Curious if any of the recent winners of the raw cards would post their perceptions of the card(s) when they get them in hand. I got Gregg (two right, one down from the Lewis being discussed) and am curious to know what others think about their card.
Thanks -- Mike.

Something else I found interesting about the raw cards...
All of the cards were either Broadleaf factory 25 or Anonymous factory 25 from what I could tell, unless I missed some. It looks like a pretty original grouping. I don't think it would be a wild stretch to say that these were likely put together a long time ago. Is there not some debate on what packs the Anonymous factory 25 cards were inserted into? I think this is a really good clue that they were in Broadleaf packs. They either didn't have the logo at first or it was removed for some reason. Why would the old timer that was ripping down the smokes be smoking all kinds of brands? Any thoughts on this from the T207 gurus? Last edited by oldeboo; 10-29-2020 at 08:45 PM.
