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.
