I am not as familiar with the W517 Mini, as I have seen a lot more of the W517 over the years compared to the mini versions, but I am pretty sure Adam has provided a fool-proof way, which I don't remember reading about before, of identifying if a card is a W517 mini or a cut down Exhibits card.

The regular size W517 cards came in at least two distinct card stocks, as seen in this scan:

While scanning these two cards, which happen to be both of Bing Miller, I discovered something I had never noticed before, which I will share on a separate thread.
