Now THAT's interesting.

The #14 card in the 1931 W502 set is indeed Lefty Grove. From what I can tell by PSA and SGC's pop reports, both companies classify the 1931 W502s as "1931 W-Uncatalogued strip cards." SGC has graded 28, PSA has graded 3. I have no idea if these are scarce or not.

What's interesting is that they're classified this way, as blank-backed uncatalogued cards. Why not classify the blank-backed 1928 W502s the same way?

Does anyone have any insight into the history of how these two sets (the 1928 and 1931) both became classified as W502s, and how they came to be that way? Were the blank-backed 1928s always lumped in with them?
