Unknown cards

Rob, I assume you meant E210 Waner Type 2 and not R314 Doerr. A theory is that the E210-1 (Type 1 set) was a 1927 issue and the E210-2 (or Type 2 set) was a 1928 issue, so maybe they didn't feel the need to add the type b/c they do have it dated 1928 but I would prefer to see either "Type 2" or "E210-2' on the flip as that has always been the way to distinguish the sets.

Yup, I did mean the Waner. Thanks for the response Rhett.

On the 1937 Doerr, one way to differentiate the type 4 is that there is no "Litho in USA" in the lower corner, since Type 4 "creamy" stock paper was used for the Canadian issued set for '37. The reason I know this is because I just went through the same thing with the Carl Hubbell last month.

Also, while we are on the subject of these cards I want to point out that NOT ALL Yuengling's are the re-screened image that you commonly see. There are two versions of the Yuengling's set that are different in the following ways (I'm calling them Type 1 & 2 but have never seen them referred to as one or the other anywhere else, so it isn't a classified difference like is noted on the E210 Type 1 & 2's)...

Type 1 (a bit more common)--has a re-screened image of the cards with that dirty gray box around the name. Also note that these cards' backs have an offer for a $5.00 skooter at bottom.

Type 2 (a bit tougher to find and a bit nicer looking)--not re-screened image (sans gray box), the back does NOT have the $5.00 skooter ad.
