Any ideas?

Due to the real poor image (at least as seen on computer screen), and especially because of the fact that it is not the same size as existing authentic versions, this in my opinion is not original.

Completely agreed. The way the card has been cut seems fishy to me.

Thanks for the thoughts guys.

The pictures really did not help because it is so faded and I tried to darken the lighting to capture it. The corner fraying looks very natural to me under the microscope. I will see if I can get any better pics to capture the print better.


Someone mentioned it might be a 1915 unc card, but it doesn't size up to those. It is more in line with the size of a t206 card, and I believe it is some other release. I doubt I have a 1/1 here or something, but there has been weirder found and I was just hoping someone may have seen this image on another card or some other print besides the more known ones.

Size comparison - about the same size as a 1 oz Silver bar --------

Al`s post of Joe`s grand jury testimony on Sept. 28`th 1920, his 1`st time admitting he "took monies", great read. Enclosed an 8 X 10 of Joe within minutes of his initial confession to State`s Asst. D A Replogle at the Cooks County court house that day. And as they say the rest is history.
