Telegraph era cassettes — j-card stock changes

Documented two distinct j-card stocks across the Telegraph run. The later batch is visibly thinner. If your card flexes easily, it is the second batch.

I would call reel dubs collectible if the provenance is solid. Otherwise they are just copies.

This is the most useful thread I have read all month. Thank you for documenting it.

Exactly that. I cross-checked the provenance in February. More in part two.

My copy has the older postal frank, so that lines up with your dating.
