As far as this part of your question, Al, "Were the blank-backed 1928s always lumped in with them?", Burdick made this choice. And my read of the 1960 ACC is that some poses and players are different between e210 and w502. Card numbers 2, 4, 6, 7, 11, 16 etc. are cited. Also card nos. 25, 31, 45, 46, 55 & 59 are listed as errors.

The '75 SCB specifies relating to e210: #12 is G.J. Burns, not G.H. Burns; #25 is Art Wilson, not Hack Wilson; #31 photo is Jack Coomb, not Sherwood Smith; and other similar errors.

Different errors are cited for w502 with no breakout of game back differing from blank back. The presumption is that they are identical. But that remains to be seen.

I haven't reread Lipsett's Encyclopedia on this, nor any more recent investigations on ice cream or related material. But this is not my pit of vipers, and I ain't going in there. I got enuff problems - and insufficient armor for this battle.
