Todd SchultzI cannot find my ACC. Maybe someone could look up the w502 description to see if there is mention of any printing on the back. It would be nice to know the cuts, also. Frankly, I don't recall ever seeing a hack job cut on a w502, unlike the cartoonish looking strip cards. Are they truly hand cut, or possibly machine cut? If the latter, why not call them blank-backed Tharp or Sweetman?
These may end up being not much different in distribution or marketing than the m101-4s that sprang from Mendelsohn. Although those were definitely printed on a sheet and these may or may not have been printed in strips, the concept of starting with a blank set and allowing advertisers to add their own printing may be the same.
Edited to remove incorrect reference to some of the Ice Cream sets, which have a different caption/nameplate.
