I won this card recently at an eBay auction. The seller described it thus: |

Bill's on the money. The images are reprints of the T5 photographs. I saw one postmarked 1915 once. They are sometimes blank backed, and sometimes with generic scorecards on the back. |

It may look like it's mounted in the auction scan, but it is not. I think the seller laid it upon a piece of colored paper so the edges would show up better on the scan in contrast. |

These postcards (?) have the same numbering as the T5's - Christy M. is 251 in both. Whoever made the postcards just took the same images and printed them as is (was). A few have appeared on eBay recently - Cobb, Doyle, and a couple of others. |

I had always thought these Pinkerton Photo postcard/scorecard cards to be issued later than the 1912 T5's, but I just recently picked up one of King Cole #203 (blank back) that was used as a postcard, and has an Aug.11, 1913 postmark on back. So Im sure these cards were issued far earlier than the late teens. They were most likely issued over a few year span. Hope that helps a little. If anyone wants a scan of it let me know. Frank |

Unless I have been mistold, the real T5s are real photo, while the others are photoengraving prints (dots in the image under magnification). The T5s appear with photographs pasted to substantial and lesser mounts. In some cases the photographs without any backing appears on the market. These are more valuable than the photoengravings, though less valuable than the mounted T5s. |

The last sentence of my last post should read 'scorecard' not 'postcard.' |

I have owned a half dozen of these type of T5 Photo Scorecards/Postcards. All Ive owned were on normal postcard stock thickness, postcard sized, and printed with the tiny dots like David described (not a real photo like the true T5 cabinets). I have seen some similar cards at auction where they were described a the photo portion of the T5 cabinets (no backing), but have never seen one in person. I picked up the King Cole postcard just because of the early postmark knowing there might be some interest in knowing they were printed almost the same time the real T5s were issued. Always leaning something new, thats why I love the vintage stuff! Frank |

Hi Brian, I think Bob Lemke's value in the SCD Guide (page 301) is about right for the scorecard back (commons $250 NRMT Wagner $800 NRMT). I would think the blank backed ones should be a little less, they seem more common. Id say about $150 NRMT is about right for a common player.... similar in value to some of the postcards of the time. Frank |
