I've researched these cards for a few years and agree that your trimmed singles look good. There's a good chance their original sheets (notebook pages, as shown in Gary's scans) ended up better protected than other 1920s strip sets, explaining your cleaner fronts and backs.

All 12 photos on that sheet appear to be flipped from their originals. I show boxer Lew Tendler's source photo as part of this post about his W529-1 card.
