fkwEither way those cards are fairly scarce.
Like we figured out above, the Jackson would have a blank back if cut from the known postcards, so that Jackson could be either way.
If cut from the postcard, the other cards should have parts of the postcard print on the back (unless the postcards are also found with completely blank backs ???).
The colors are consistant with the known colors of W517 Mini cards. If I owned them Id list them as W517 Minis with borders cut close. Ive owned a few like them and mine had blank backs as well including this Gehrig
Funny thing is I keep seeing the same players over and over.
Another question... Has anyone ever seen a Mini card of either Ruth pose, Foxx, Alexander, Hornsby, Ott, etc.?? I dont think all the cards in the normal sized W517's are found in the Mini form. We should try to start a checklist of know cards (postcard cuts or Mini).
This is what I have seen or know of...
