help identifying a 1920s-ish type card
 

Is this a real issue that I'm overlooking or is it some kind of bogus reprint? It is the image from E121/W501/W575 but they aren't toned yellow, are they?

Thanks for any help-

I think probably reprint. That printing isn't focused whatsoever. Maybe others will know more. Not sure why that would be reprinted either.

These were pulled from a pack.

Tim, I don't know if your card of Clarence Hodge id real or repro, but I think I can help you ID it. Notice how close together the 2 lines of print below the player are in the W575-1 cards Leon showed. This same closemess of the 2 lines also appears in the E121-80 cards. The Standard Catalog lists Hodge in the W575-1 set, but not in the E121-80 set.

The 2 lines of print are farther apart in your Hodge card, like they are in the E121-120 and W501 cards The Standard Catalog lists Hodge in both of these sets.

It has now been recognized by SGC that there are two variations of the W501 cards. The W501-1 variation has the date and card number in the upper corners, whereas a W501-2 card does not have this info in the upper corners. It is believed that for a very long time, many W501-2 cards have been misidentified as being W575-1 cards.

In conclusion, I believe your Hodge card is a W501-2 card, which are known to have a grainy, less sharp pic than the W575-1 cards. Hope this helps.
