Need your help in classifying a strip card
 
Posted By: <b>Neal</b><p>I picked up a strip card from a fellow board member a few weeks ago. Thinking it was a W516. I am looking through my 2006 SCD and can't seem to figure out which strip it is exactly? Is it W516-1,W516-1-2 or a W516-2-2<br /><br />Your help is appreciated always!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1180055068.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Zinn</b><p>W516-1-2 Speaker No. 5<br /><br />W516-2-2 Speaker No. 6<br /><br />So it's W516-1-2<br /><br />Edit:<br /><br />Can't be W516-1 as the IFC Symbol not backwards on the W516-1

Posted By: <b>daryle</b><p>Isn't that a W516-1-2? Speaker is card #5 in the W516-1-2 set. Card #6 in the W516-2-2 set. Also, the IFC is backwards and it is in black,red and yellow color tones<br /><br /><br /><br />Beat me to it:-)

Posted By: <b>David Bowden</b><p>Is that a 5 in the bottom right? If so it is a W516-1 according to Old Carboard. <br />David

Posted By: <b>Andy</b><p>It's difficult to say, with the missing ink, if that is a 5 or a 6. But the reversed (c) symbol tells us that the card is a W516-2-2. <br /><br />Zinn, You may have meant to say -2-2 as there is not a W516-1-2 designation, so it is not that. <br /><br />I will say that the number does look a lot like it is a 5 and that would suggest that the card is actually a fake.<br><br>Thanks,<br /><br />Andy

Posted By: <b>Zinn</b><p>Andy:<br /><br />My SCD (2006) on page 526 has a W516-1-2. Speaker is number 5.<br /><br />W516-2-2 appears on page 527 and Speaker is number 6.<br /><br />Both have the IFC symbol reversed.<br /><br />W516-1 that also appears on page 526 has a number 5 Speaker BUT has a correct IFC symbol.<br /><br />Maybe the SCD is wrong?<br /><br />Zinn

Posted By: <b>David Bowden</b><p>Now I'm confused (actually I was long before this post.) The card I scanned below is supposed to be a W516-2-2. According to the Old Cardboard site it is a W516-2-1 because of the type. Who is correct Old Cardboard or SGC?<br /><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u200/Nedwob53/scan0019.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Zinn</b><p>That is a W516-2-1.<br /><br />Number in lower left corner. Reversed IFC symbol.<br /><br />W516-2-2 has the number in the lower right hand corner.<br /><br />Both are number 3.

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Thiese sets are broken up into two different categories based 1st on the checklists. The Speaker will be #5 in all sets under "W516-1" umbrella, and will be #6 in all sets under W516-2 umbrella. The second thing that determines category is the IFC/IFS symbol and font type used. <br /><br />W516-1-1 (mistakenly listed as simply W516-1 in 2007 book) and W516-2-3 have IFS/IFC symbol correct.<br />W516-1-2, W516-2-1, and W516-2-2 have IFC/IFS symbol reversed.<br /><br />W516-1-1, W516-1-2, and W516-2-2 have hand written font<br />W516-2-1 and W516-2-3 have serif font.<br /><br />The Speaker is from W516-1-2 and the Johnson is W516-2-1<br />-Rhett

Posted By: <b>Andy</b><p>Yes, thank you Rhett. I am always happy to be corrected when I think I know more than I do. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> I had a feeling I would be corrected in this thread. <br /><br />So there are five different W516 "types"? This forum always teaches me something.<br /><br />edited to add: My apologies Zinn.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Andy

Posted By: <b>boxingcardman</b><p>This series of strips has a parallel boxing series (W529). Since Burdick didn't bother to split the subtypes and no one else did either, I did it and numbered the subsets consecutively rather than subdividing by types. The variants I can confirm are:<br /><br />Type 1: IFC symbol correct, numbered starting at 1, handwritten legend<br />Type 2: IFC symbol reversed (i.e., image flipped), numbered same as Type 1, handwritten legend<br />Type 3: IFC symbol reversed, numbers reversed (i.e, card #1 is now card #10), handwritten legend<br />Type 4: IFC Symbol correct, numbered starting at 50, typeset legend<br />Type 5: IFC symbol reversed, numebering same, typset legend<br />Type 6: IFC Symbol reversed, numbering reversed, typset legend<br /><br />There are also a ton of color variations, shading variations, etc. It is by far the most complex set of boxing strips and I have no reason to believe that the baseball cards aren't just as confusing and complex.

Using the above logic, is this Speaker I just picked up a W516-2-2? Thanks!

rhettyeakley 08-02-2010 07:53 PM

Nope, it is actually W516-2-1

serif font is only found on the W516-2-1 & W516-2-3, both would have Speaker as #6 but since the IFC symbol is backwards that makes it W516-2-1.

Confusing, I know

Thanks, Rhett. Appreciate it.
