Worch? Wheaties?

[timn1]

I WILL LEAVE MY ORIGINAL POST UP FOR REFERENCE, BUT PLEASE SEE THE SUBSEQUENT POST "WORCHES FOR SURE" FOR THE CORRECTION AND SOME CLARITY ON THE ISSUE.

I'm not sure that anyone really knows who put out these cards of the Minneapolis Millers in 1932. For a long time they were listed as "Wheaties" and then people started describing them as a 1932 Worch set (which would make them the initial Worch set, with additional issues from the cigar company in 1933 probably all the way through 1935. Looking through the "Worch Cigar Project" thread I notice a lot of folks posted scans of these cards and called them Worches. My SCD calls them Wheaties... VCP avoids them altogether. But I still don't really know what to call them...

Anyone have definitive info about them? If so please divulge. In the meantime, at least we have a pretty stable checklist, unlike with the Worch sets proper. It's also clear that these cards are a lot easier to find than the 1933-35 Worches-

One reason I'm posting them all here is to try to un-conflate them from the Worch 1933-35 set(s), which I am trying to build a better checklist for. The most obvious difference is that these 1932 cards have a facsimile script name rather than the weird little block letters of the 1933-35 Worches.

So if you think you have a Worch and see it here, then - you might have a 1932 Worch, but not one from the set I'm working on.
