Burdick did not use the N prefix for 19th century cards, simply referring to them by number. Burdick's N designation was used for Central and South American cards. The E designation was for Early candy and gum cards, as opposed to R for Recent candy and gum cards. The W category was not short for anything, just a catchall for what he called Album cards.
