Re: Death Card newbie question
All looks good to me...they did indeed use a semi-glossy paper, for lack of a better term. Hard to explain, but I know it when I see it, lol...
cheers, Glenn

Re: Death Card newbie question
Agreed. "Waxy thin paper" is a good description for the typical period stock used for printing death cards. (Present-day examples are typically printed on somewhat thicker and glossier paper, but nowhere near as thick as that used for trading cards.)
Also, it is worth noting that "death card" is a collector term from English-speaking countries; in German, a death card is known as a "Sterbebild" [lit. "dying picture"], "Trauerbild" [lit. "mourning picture"], "Totenzettel" [lit. "dead's slip"] and by a number of other slight variations on the theme, none of which describe it as a card. (The terms differ regionally.)

Re: Death Card newbie question
Thanks guys, great information here, ok so how do these end up in collectors hands, where they ordered through a funeral home by a family then handed out at the funeral like modern day?
