Leon-Hi....
I just posted to clarify certain issues and had only one intention, to assist you on clearing up some facts regarding this issue. This post which is a really good one, has a solid purpose... and I had no intention of anything except to pass some knowledge regarding the subtle differences.

The best reason to participate in this forum is to share information with all that wish to learn and we all benefit.

One day, the ACC which is the backbone of the hobby catalogue will need to be slightly amended, this particular issue is one of them.

As I have shared before, we were not around when the sets were issued so we can only speculate based on physical evidence but there can be little doubt that E121's, W575-1, W501 and 1921 Koester's were similar but NOT the same issuer & not the same sets... but I do believe that W501 and W575-1 are very similar except for players, date of issue and actual cropping ....I have several of each in SGC holders and can send scans upon request.

1921 Koester's have similar attributes to E121's(except blank back and some different players etc.) and related backs but the W issues are QUITE different for many reasons already stated.
