What is this??? (identification help please)
Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>It bugs me when I cant figure out what set a card is from. I rarely get stumped, but this one did it. It is 3" by 5" & blank back. Earl Whitehill played for Washington from 1933-36. As far as I know it is not a R313, R313A, R314. It has a similar design to a Homogenized Bond Bread card, but is larger and at least 11 years older. I had to BIN because it stumped me <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/unkwhitehill.jpg"><br /><br />Anyone know or see these???<br /><br />Frank

Posted By: <b>Tim Newcomb</b><p>The Whitehill card is from the borderless subset of Goudey Wide Pens. The generally accepted ACC designation would be R314B-1 <br /><br />The borderless varieties are scarcer than the average Wide Pen, though not out of the ballpark. Read more about 'em in my article in the next issue of Old Cardboard.<br /><br />Tim

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Thanks Tim, I am looking forward to the 2nd part of the R313/R314 "Pens" article. I read the first part in the 3D issue of Old Cardboard a couple times, lots of good info that made me more interested in the sets. I recently picked up a group of the Gold Metal Foods (Wheaties) cards. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
