Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>Does anyone know why my copy of W 516-1 Mathewson (Number 24) does not have a number? Error card? See scans of both with and without.<img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1139795624.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1139795415.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1139795599.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1139795624.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>I know of what you speak but I've examined under high magnification and find no evidence that paper is missing. Thanks for your comment.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>isn't w516 the set that has 3 different types? I agree, does not look like paper is missing since you can see the period after the N.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I've just reached Upper Lower Class. I am now officially a babe magnet for poor chicks.

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>Yes, and the other variations of 516-1 both have card numbers. Oh well, I'll keep looking.
