I had to bring this thread up again because I see a PC much like the one I just found down in Mexico is on Ebay. Now, I'm not wondering if the Ebay card is a repro. because, it is clearly not exact or even the Mexcican Phonograph issue. What I do notice is the very poor and grainy printing of it. Why is this??. Here are the two starting with the one I just found:

I'd guess that the original card doesn't look like that - - the eBay image seems to have been taken with a low-resolution camera and with the original half-tone image has created a Moire Pattern. That's my guess anyway...
