Frank, I didn't see your post until today.

Basically, it is a "mistake" but in reality Koester's Bread cards really are simply W575-1's, we just happen to know who did the promotion so we know to catalog them as Koester's and not W575-1. Brown was only issued by Koester's--as are some of the other "W575-1's listed in the SCD, specifically:
-Frank Baker
-Jesse Barnes
-Howard Berry
-Ed Brown
-Bill Cunningham
-Alex Ferguson
-"Chicken" Hawks
-Fred Hoffman
-John McGraw (Mgr.)
-John Mitchell
-Charles Stengel (Port)


The ENTIRE LISTING for W575-1's in the SCD needs to be thrown out (and we need to start over) as it is a conglomeration of at least 5 different sets all thrown together. We need to scrap it and start all over again. The 5 "sets" listed there are as follows...

-true W575-1's (totally blank backed E121 type cards-on the same stock as E121's)
-Koester's Bread cards
-Henry Johnson cards (argument can be made that these should be listed along w/ regular W575-1's and tat's probably valid but people tend to want to classify these by themselves)
-James P. Keating cards (same argument as Henry Johnson's)
-W575-1B (or W501 type 2's)

The last one is the one that REALLY muddies up the water as to the untrained eye they are the same but the photo quality sucks and the card stock is totally different so it IS it's own set that has a checklist that is the same as W501 just w/o the G-4-22 at top.

Not everyone will follow (or care about) what I just stated but Frank you will understand what I'm talking about.
