Leon, many thanks for jogging my Alzheimer's-like memory by providing the link to the 2011 thread in which Dan M. showed the other 2 known A.W.A. cards. The fact that I am fascinated by the E222 cards and that I even posted in this 2011 thread gives you a good indication as to how pathetic my memory is!
That all 3 known A.W.A. cards have the exact same back design furthers my belief that this is merely a typesetting error. I suspect that one print run was erroneously done with the A.W.A. backs, even though not all 3 card fronts have the same color tinting, and that Arthur W. Havens likely did not become aware of this error until these cards had already been distributed.
While I am saddened to learn that you are parting with your incredible type collection, I'm curious to see how your E222s fare (I assume each of your E222s will be a single lot), as I've never seem so many E222s come to market at the same time.
Best,
Val
