1928 Harrington Ice Cream Cards back variation

Question The cards that have the extra line "Babe Ruth may be saved for quarts of Ice Cream" do you think they were short printed?

Good observation. My type card has the "ruth" line so I wonder which back is more prevalent?

Thanks Leon
Maybe the set can be divided into type I or type II. The other question is which came first with or without the line, maybe they gave out to many quarts of ice cream along with the ice cream favor and removed the line or added it to get more sales. Just a thought

Ron, my only Harrington's card is Eppa Rixey, and it has the extra Babe Ruth line at the bottom.

Also, I just checked the 22 currently listed and 7 recently sold Harrington's on eBay. Of these cards, those where the backs of the cards are shown (some sellers, especially B-E Collectibles, are apparently too lazy to add scans of the backs of their cards) ALL have the extra Babe Ruth line at the bottom. Hence, I would guess that Harrington's without the extra line are much tougher to find.

Ron, I am curious - which player is on your Harrington's card that doesn't have the extra Ruth line?

Shameless plug - One of my collecting focuses is Sam Rice cards, and I have all of his 1928 F50 ice cream cards, EXCEPT for a Harrington's. Does anyone have one they are willing to trade or sell?

Val, I just have the one card, Babe Ruth with the extra line. The bottom scan is without the extra line is not mine. I would agree the card without the extra line would be tougher
