Never seen one like this before. Really never paid attention to the colors.

Thanks for posting.

I reviewed my P2 set...not nearly enough discussion about P2's :-)

I have 11 pins with the red/orange printing on the back. All of them are on Large Letter pins. With respect to the backing, it seems that the cardboard comes in 4 colors (easiest to hardest)...white and grey, orange, and blue...with a rough 45/45/8/2 split on the colors (my eyeball estimate). I didn't have any W&H backs.

has all the back papers and some dating for W&H pinbacks. I doubt the W&H back paper is original to the Sweet Cap pin because of the issue dates but not my area although I do collect pins. I'll look some things up.....

It's been a long time since I managed to finish off the P2 set years ago but I don't remember seeing any W&H pin backings amongst my collection.

I'm half tempted to start pulling these out of the display box just to double check but, at over 200 pins, I'll just rely on my memory instead.

Scott go for it, check & scan each pin back

Been awhile since we hooked up, I miss those bbq's at your place w/ all the card collectors
