Hey Jim
As the title of their post says , they are classified 1915 W-Unc. Many in the hobby, including the source of these, Lew Lipset, believe they are not W cards and are some kind of uncatalogued candy issue. Three of those in that grouping are uniquely known. If you remember Lew had about 30 of those type cards in one of his auctions not too long ago. I couldn't believe one of the whales didn't go after them. If they did, my boat would have been sunk . My good friend Matt W. and I were playing cat and mouse with the Thorpe that night too. I ended up winning on my last bid. I am trying to find the three Police Gazettes that correspond to three of those cards. The only one I have gotten is the Phili Team composite one, so far. regards
