Hess Newsboy auction...

Never held one of these, but seems to be printed in like-manner to the OJ's

Was concerned about the text on this card. It appeared to have "run" as if a water soluble ink. Any thoughts? -Steve F

Looks like a skinned card glued to a piece of paper and then cut out.

they are similar to OJ's when original......

the seller said:

"This is a trimmed photo card with creases glued on a thin piece of paper, but it is also a very, very rare series"



**I believe him.....

but glued to a new backing. I've bought MANY 19TH century nonsports cards from the guy. He knows the issues. Just my opinion..........

I think my comment could almost be misinterpreted. IMO the person selling is a good seller and the card is as you said...

I believe all the front text on the originals is in the photographic image, so there is no printed ink to run. It's a photograph of the text.

Sure is an Armpit indeed. My son Mike was the last employed Boston Globe paperboy in New England and earned $5k for college. Sadly, they have been phased out. for nearly 15 years now.

I greatly appreciate all the evals on this card.

I now wonder how many different news agencies are represented in this Issue... If anyone would like to post some N333 examples it would be terrific. Steve F

I'm not sure how many newspapers are represented, but there are 8 different cities.
