Shoeless Joe Jackson National Game
Posted By: Dan Elsass
I ran across a Shoeless Joe Jackson National Game card today. The strange thing about the card are the corners. They are round, just as all the other National Games cards are, however, this one's corners have a bit of a larger roundness to them. I looked the card over and there is no evidence of trimming and each corner is consistant with the rest. I am sorry but I do not have a scan of the item, so please forgive. |

It'd help if a scan were available. |

I will get a digital photo of the item and that may help. I have compared the corners to other pictures of the set that I have been able to find, this one's corners all look rounder for a lack of a better word. As I said, tomorrow I will get a pic and you all can see what I am talking about. |

OK, of all the ones that I have seen of this particular Joe Jackson, this is the first with corners such as this one. |

I could be wrong but the national game reprints I've seen have these longer radius corners. |

The original National Game cards were made with an essentially defunct form of commercial printing called photoengraving (aka 'releif'). With a handheld microscope, photoengraving is easily identified. |

Besides the corners, which do seem to have a different degree radius than the ones I have seen, the card's borders seem a little large (maybe I am just imagining this), and the color appears too sepia...would be interesting to know what others think. |

..I forgot to mention it seems awful grainy. |

I agree that, from the image, the corners do not look good (charitably put) and the brown tone is atypical. But, if the card is going to be viewed in person, a microscope can act as arbiter. |

The image does not look the like real thing. If you are still uncertain after everyone's opinion you may want to contact Larry Fritsch who reprinted these. |
