Blue Tints
The timeline of these cards is bounded by the Eddie Lopat and the Harry Walker cards.
Lopat is depicted as a Yankee (traded to Yankees on Feb 24, 1948)
Walker is depicted as a Phillie (he was traded to the Cubs on Oct 4, 1948)
I do recall collecting these cards in the Summer of 1948.
So, Burdick is in error here on two accounts.......
Dating this set as a 1947 issue; and, classifying it as an "R" issue.
These cards were printed in strips of 8 cards; therefore they are a "W" issue.
