I want to show the another known uncut strip (which I do not own), in addition to the one that Leon has in a previous post.

The 10 card strip that Leon has in the most common one that I've seen, with the players: (row 11) Charlie Grimm, Max Carey, Jimmy Caveney, George Burns (Phil - OF), Grover Alexander, Travis Jackson, Dave Bancroft, Buckey Harris, and Frank Frisch, and Tris Speaker.

This other uncut strip, which is hard to see, has the following: (row 10) George Burns (Cleve - 1B), Ray Blades, Eddie Rommell, Phil Todt, George Dauss, Heinie Sand, Jess Barnes, Rabbit Maranville, Dazzy Vance, and Eppa Rixey.

Note that if you assume that the rows are sequential, e.g., row 10 is above row 11, this causes discrepancies what the booklet sheet that Leon has. In the booklet, it shows the last 5 players from (row 11). However, in the row immediately above it, there are 5 non-baseball cards. This doesn't mesh with (row 10), which has baseball players for the entire row.

Therefore, another theory is that the W590s were distributed in different ways, booklet sheets and individually in 10 card strips. You will notice on the 10 card strips there are very wide top and bottom borders, which you do not see in the booklet sheets. This may explain why some cards in the w590 set are much more common than others since some may have only been distributed in the booklet sheets, while others may have been distributed in the booklet sheets and in the individual 10 card strips.
