Tough to classify the w502's - no company brand printing. But I do feel confident they are NOT hand-cut strip cards, as PSA claims. All the ones I see are nicely cut with even edges and 90 degree corners - not even close to those cartoonish colorized true strip cards. I had a Tris Speaker blank back, a Ty Cobb one-bagger, just picked up a Rogers Hornsby with back game writing. My guess is they were regionally issued as a card game, the blank backs being "outs" (could exlain why there are more of them, usually more outs than hits) or could be a different issue altogether. Regardless, the "w" strip card designation is probably wrong as these are not hand cut strip cards.
