T216 Font Size Question

Leon · #1 06-07-2022, 12:34 PM

There could be differences in font but I am unaware of them. Somehow, I think whomever's catalog or list it is, might have been thinking about the T216 back differences (though they are not font differences). Maybe someone will know definitively...The few I checked online didn't seem to have different front font sizes...

+1� guessing this is a reference to the reverse.

I think this is what you are looking for. Here are two Mathewsons (not my cards), notice how the name on the PWCC one starts further to the left (bottom) and ends further to the right (top) and the top of the letters are closer to the image. Also note that the Crawford card comes with the position with and without a space "c. f." & "c.f." I don't recall if either of these variations are back specific or not though. I'm sure Steve will give better, more definitive, info.

Thanks DJ...in fact they are different. Learn something new every day. (*and I will forget soon after)...

Thanks DJ...Al, I tried to collect that set for many years and I wasn't totally sure what that meant...Jerry

DJ wrote a nice post to highlight the differences.

When it comes to captions in T216, the small/large font designations don't add much information, as each back will only be found with one font size, and this also extends to the position caption for Crawford.

The KNGO (thin paper Kotton) and VE backs will have the same caption.
The K123/KNIT/Mino backs will have the other caption.

I really enjoy the Crawford cards. Here's the VE.

Cheers,
Steve

I think that Steve nailed it. T216s should be catalogued by their different backs. There is no reason to note the font size that is used on their fronts. As far as I know, there are no variations for a card within a specific back.
