Thought I'd share an interesting blank-backed 1909 Obak.....

Scott- I agree with you, I guess I didn't make myself clear enough, what I meant was that the 205, 206 and 207 and 116s were from posters, not the 1909 Obaks. You're right, there's no way that many handcut cards could be from posters. You have to wonder if an early attempt at printing and distributing Obaks in 1909 resulted in sloppy hand cut cards and then later in 1909, the company realized that they needed for both aesthetic and economic reasons to be cut by machine, resulting in the traditional cut. Perhaps this might mean that the frameless ones were issued first and the framed ones issued second?
