I need help identifying the difference between UY9 and UY10 Paid Reply Postal Cards. I have uploaded a scan at this link. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Bob
UY10 has a press-printed surcharge (San Francisco). UY9 has a cancelling machine surcharge (1 of 14 cities). The press-printed UY10 should look cleaner and more well defined. The Postal Card Catalog from the UPSS provides detailed descriptions of all 15.
The message-reply card at the link provided looks like a UY10, but a higher resolution scan of just the surcharge would be more helpful.
I was staring at the numeral "1" in each overprint and at first glance it looks as if the "1" over George is a bit taller than the "1" over Martha so I actually went and measured them and they are EXACTLY the same.
