Picked up a few of these recently. All blank back. All really nice. Don't see many groups of them. Show them if you have them!

Interesting that your cards have different widths. They certainly seem to have been cut down from a larger card. And Anson on his Prewarcards website shows a card that has a partial horizontal line exactly where it is seen on the 1936 S & S version of the same player.

I only have their fully grown 1936 S & S Game card cousins. Here is the Cuyler card with the normally seen green back and the pretty uncommon tan/cream back. Something that I hadn't noticed before is that the tan backed Cuyler (with his named incorrectly spelled 'Cyler') appears to be slightly taller. A height difference between these Home Run Candy cards and the S & S cards is identified on the Prewarcards website in this article:

Leon, do your cards have a tan colored back like the one seen in my scan? If so, perhaps these were cut down from this tan backed issue?

Tan'ish backs. All of these are much wider at top. Not sure but a few look like they could be hand cut, or trimmed, but most are machine cuts. I don't believe this is a hand cut series just like at least a few other W cards that are slabbed as such, and aren't ..

I ended up with your Appling from the Heritage auction that you had a few years back. :o
