Default The mystery of R315

So with my pick up a week or two ago, of this R315 strip I got to wondering who put these out and how they were distributed. Until this strip of 5 horizontal cards I had only ever seen strips of 3 vertical cards. Also, since Burdick classified "R" to be "Recent" Gum and Candy, did he know something more than we do currently, about their distribution? An undervalued set imo, and it's valuation might be in part because we don't know much about them!!

Not that it adds anything, but just noticed that the horizontal strip has the players position and team in small font along bottom border, while the vertical strips do not.

Assuming those are both period - I think maybe you've got two different issues there!
