axios.delete ok in postman, 401 on server

Deleting a record form my webapp results in a 401 error.

I tried:

   axios.delete(`../api/cards/${id}`,{headers:{Authorization:'Bearer '+this.token, 'Content-Type':'application/json', 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin':'*'}})

as well as

   const formData = new FormData();
               formData.append('_method', 'DELETE');  // axios setting
                const config = {
                    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.token}` }
                }; 
                axios.post(`../api/cards/${id}`,
                    formData,     
                    config
                ) 

result is:

Request URL: http://localhost:8000/api/cards/21
Request Method: DELETE
Status Code: 401 Unauthorized
Remote Address: 127.0.0.1:8000
Referrer Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

When I use Postman with the token taken from the chrome dev Application Local storage it works like a charm.

I have no clue where to start debugging this. Any suggestions that could lead to a solution?
