Does anyone have a better scan of the full lettering on the side of these W-519-N-1's? Looks like it says "20 ?? SET".

I think you're right. It's "20 to a Set" Here's a better example (not mine)

Mystery solved. Thanks!

The manufacturer of this set, Decalco Litho, also made a boxing set in the same format and at the same time. Next to card #1 it says:

Decalco Litho Co., Inc., Hoboken, New Jersey.

Next to card #20 it says:

20 to a set

The legends may be found on other cards too. For example the 20 to a set legend is also next to boxing card #14.

Decalco made a lot of the early ephemera figures we see, not only sports but paper dolls and other things too....
