Like I mentioned in a previous post, I only remember seeing uncut W573 strips like the one you posted, which are narrow L/R, thus being a Type 1. All of the cards on that strip have been confirmed on the Type 1 list. New York Giants and Chicago White Sox are a couple of the teams that the vast majority of the 15 possible subjects have been confirmed.

Below is a run down of how many confirmed subjects each team has as seen in Type 1:

Boston Red Sox - 5
Chicago White Sox - 12
Cleveland Indians - 6
Detroit Tigers - 13
New York Yankees - 10
Philadelphia Athletics - 6
St. Louis Browns - 10
Washinton Senators - 6

Boston Braves - 5
Brooklyn Dodgers - 5
Chicago Cubs - 10
Cincinnati Reds - 6
New York Giants - 10
Philadelphia Phillies - 7
Pittsburgh Pirates - 10
St. Louis Cardinals - 13
