Uncatalogued card with team change points to different year of W573 issue

What about the uncut strip what type?

Howdy, here is what I posted on the other W573 thread concerning your strip:

I only remember seeing uncut W573 strips like the one you posted, which are Black and White photos and narrow L/R, thus being a Type 1. All of the cards on that strip have been confirmed on the Type 1 list.

I added in the mention of Black and White Photos to the above excerpt from the other thread to make it clearer. I don't recall ever seeing any strips of the Green/Sepia Type 2, or the bigger L/R border and thicker paper stock Type 3.

I guess these are type 1 W573?

Hi BuzzD, if these are thinner paper stock, which because of the hand cut and its overall look I would guess they are, these would be Type 1 and new additions to the Type 1 list.

Can you confirm that is on paper stock instead of cardboard (if you are to hold each card on one end it would slightly bend if you were to wiggle it)? Cardboard, like what is seen in Type 3, will not bend.

I will add it to the Type 1 list upon confirmation...thanks for posting!

I dug them out. Both are the same. Type 1 seems to fit best. these are heavier than copy paper for example but flexible. Maybe in the 30-50 weight range? Not that I know a lot about paper, but seems a little thinner than stock my wife uses for making greeting cards.

The greeting card reference sold me. They are Type 1 cards. Just noticed what I did with the lists on that linked thread, and actually these two cards have already been confirmed. I still appreciate that you brought up this thread again. I like all the nuances of the W573, which is completely opposite from its sibling E120 American Caramel set that it shares the same images with...E120's are such a straightforward issue.

Have collecting fun!
