Paul,
FWIW, the Mendelsohn "proofs" as you call them have a different font and do not use the double dash. Doug, While the checklist from Hank's mailer does not match up perfectly with known c. 1915 W-UNCs, four of the six are there. Perhaps the other two--Collins and Alexander--will surface. BTW, I was mistaken in my comparison of Hanks' 6 card strip to the Successful Farming Promos--the latter contain Baker instead of Collins.

I sincerely apologize for the confusion, but it wasn't until I saw Leon's blowup of the Legendary card (which it might actually be, my original input to the contrary) that I realized that the one on my mailer strip has several minor, but obviously very significant, differences. The size, image, and type font are exactly the same. BUT--my "Napolean" is spelled differently, and instead of being in all caps has only the "N," "L," and "J" in caps. In addition, mine has no double dash after the "B" in "2nd B." One other difference is the right margin, which on mine couldn't be cut quite as widely as seen in the Legendary example without impinging into the next "card" of Zimmerman to its right. The left margin of mine could be cut to 3/8" if desired, as that is the amount of blank space to the left border of the mailer. I feel terrible about any disruption I might have caused to the Legendary auction by my inaccurate intrusion upon it, and will immediately apologize to Doug and alert him to the new information. If the buyer sees this, you have my apology also. I will get scans of my piece up without a day or so for those who might be interested to see it, to show the differences I have mentioned, and also to partly atone for my sins.

I'm the buyer, and no need to apologize. Because Legendary offered to cancel the sale immediately after your post, I felt safe. If the card turned out to be a cut out, there would be no sale, but otherwise I got a great and mysterious card. I look forward to seeing the post of your flyer.

Doug, I'm happy to do it. It was going to be a real pain trying to pay only a partial invoice for the other lots I won.

Thanks for sharing your promotional piece. It now seems certain the card in question, as well as all/most of the W-Unc mystery cards we've seen in recent years are products of the Mendelsohn empire. Whether uncataloged card sets, remnants of advertising/promotional pieces or some sort of preproduction mockups remains to be seen, of course. |
