Variations in W516-1 set

Awesome! I stumble on your site at least once a month!

I think this is bigger than just a card stock / reverse image / card number subtlety as Speaker's face is definitely angled differently in the two cards. As others have said a million times, a discovery like that in the t206 set would set the world on fire!

Strip card discoveries (I've had two legitimate ones in the span of 24 hours) certainly garner zero interest. My other post about a W519 Cravath #18 (previously unconfirmed existence) has had a total of zero replies and almost as many views.

Oh well!!

It seems many strip card sets used different stock. There are an infinite number of varieties and differences. I think one could almost only collect W cards and make a full time hobby of it.

Thanks, glad you come by the site!

Strip cards don't catch the common eye, for sure, but they do have the cheapness working against them. Whoever first made those sets might be shocked any of them survived to the 21st century. :-)
