PS. This card (below) may also be a 1933 R340 (or at worst a R309-1 prototype/proof) and if it is a R340, it would be the rarest baseball card with an ACC#
R340s were never issued as intended (redemption offer of 50 Sport Kings wrappers, advertised on some 1933 Sport Kings wrappers)


Its a unique example, only one known (I own it )

I might as well do my biyearly...
"has anyone seen another R309-1 example with the extra wide green borders (adds nearly 1/2" to the height and width compared to the R309-1), green name plaque (instead of the gold on R309-1), square top easel (instead of the round top on R309-1), far superior image quality (compared to the R309-1)"?




PS. A R340 Johnny Weissmuller has been seen, but like the T231 Bigbee mentioned above, the only known image is a small older newspaper quality B&W image, and its not easy to tell if it has the extra green border around edges, but it DOES have the same plaque and fake wood frame design, and fits the size and general description of the R340 premiums offered on the wrapper above..
