All of the cards have the same six line inscription in the top left-hand corner on the front of the card:

Fest=Postkarte | zum | 32. Deutschen Philatelistentag | und | II. Westdeutschen Briefmarkenhändlertag | Dortmund, August 1926".

3Rpf REICHSADLER ### THIS IS A 1993 RE-PRINT ###

The example below is a reprint, not the original version. There is an extra inscription on the bottom left-hand edge of this card which reads "MICHEL-Nachdruck zur NAPOSTA '93 in Dortmund vom 19.-23. Mai" - 'MICHEL reprint for NAPOSTA '93 in Dortmund from 19.-23. May'. This inscription is not found on the original card. Other than this the card is the same as the original.
