Late breaking 1936 S&S Game Card news

I always imagined linear to proceed in figure 8 fashion, with the 1936 tan back S&S cards at the demolition derby epicenter.

This is such an exciting story it took me a almost a full day to open the thread. The SS Game cards are as intriguing as (insert something very boring). I guess back in the day they probably didn't have the Fake media so the mistake "was" probably made first. Now we can lay that long, unanswered question to rest. Did I have to wake up for this?

Brian, I've had a few sets over the years & never knew about the Cuyler variation.

The sets were issued in 2 styles of boxes, large & small
here's the small box

Hi Jay, I have a feeling that the variation can only be found with the tan back cards...have you ever owned any of the tan backs?

I had a tan one but not Cuyler. As a type collector I didn't see too many of the tan ones.

I've had a bunch of Tan ones over the years & still have a few
Don't remember if I had Cuyler or not.
I always liked KiKi, as we shared the same birthday, along w/ Ted Williams

FYI...the Kiki Cuyler in the complete set of tan backs offered in the current Bagger's auction is spelled 'Cyler'.

An early uncorrected error, unless the corrected one came later? If it were a T206 someone might be able to retire on the sale of it.

There is no better reason to wake up than the mere thought of exciting 1936 S&S Game Card variations. A close second would of course be plain white envelopes. Old school lick and seal on morning tongue is better than the smell of coffee brewing.
