Can someone inform me as to when these were produced? The big book list 1938 (2009 version) but many list them as 1937 on ebay etc. thanks

They are quite scarce but any time that I have seen them, they have been identified as a 1938 issue. That may be because most people follow the SCBC set dates.

the R329's come with different variations to the frame info on back....

here is my info on them..... were issued ca.1938 by a Cincinnati plastics company named Clopay, who were more well known as makers of cheap window blinds.
There are at least 2 different backs known, the more common one has a Dayton St. address, the other issued later listed Clopay Sq. as the address and originally has an ad for a shoe company on the tear away section

Anyone w/a negative ever buy any photo paper and follow the instructions to make "new" prints of these cards?

I had acquirred several negatives with no "cards" so I had a professional photographer print the cards for me. Amazing that 80 years later that was still possible.
