how to classify W575 vs E121 w/ad backs
Posted By: leon
I still struggle with exactly how to classify the cards from the W575 series that have ad's on the backs. As I am an avid back collector I never seem to come to a definitive decision in my mind. One that's been known forever can be a good example (there are many more). Take the Witmor Candy cards. Should I make it E121/E-unc or W575/E-unc. There's the Haffners bread cards....should they be W575/D-unc or D-unc/W575 and which main categories should those go in "W" or "D"....? I could put them all as E121/xx or W575/xx, and I am leaning towards the latter to make it more focused. Also, we can throw in the tidbit about the much thinner strips (in vertical strips of 10) being the real W cards.....I know we have had this discussion before but it's been a while and I am updating my website so it has come to the forefront again...thanks for any input..and happy holidays (oh yeah...here's another quandry) |

Please don't tell me, after I got the impossible vertical Witmor, that there's a 3rd type...and that you are just thinking of something else? |

how to classify W575 vs E121 w/ad backs

This is of great social importance folks so listen up . After I posted about this yesterday I spoke with my good friend Lyman for (what my wife said was 2 hours) about 30 minutes, mostly discussing this topic. As long as folks have a rationale for what they do then at least there is a "reason". One thing I have never taken the attitude of, and dislike, is the reasoning "well, it's always been that way". So we started talking about W575 vs E121 and how they are categorized. I said that recently I have gone back to the ACC and found out some "new" old info on different sets. When looking up E121 and W575 the ACC says: |

The fact this makes sense is further bolstered by the fact that W575 has many cards that did not appear in E121. All these sets spawn from W575. |

Sets do not have to spawn from each other. They can originate in a pool of photos available for manufacturers or distributors to choose the players to be included with their product. The outsourcing of the card design and manufacture could follow or include this selection process. |

My reasoning stems from the ACC which all card "numbers" are originally derived from, as you know. IF it was good enough Mr.Burdick it's good enough for me....and he said that W575 had various sets so to me that is where he classified them. You said |

Leon, it was not my intent to cloud the issue. In my thinking it is clear, although I am sure that not everyone agrees. |

This is a very interesting topic because there seems to be constantly new finds and some realizations regarding this issue that makes ACC seem slightly obsolete... |
