1931 W517 color variation checklist?

Here are some W 517 mini's, including bright red. Also, the Vance Strike Out does not have a number, I assume it's a W517 but don't really know

Nice cards David W.

Hi Rhett,

I have two Bing Miller cards, the one you posted on the right, which is definitely cut short, and one I bought (from you?) that was an upgrade to the other. I did not notice the card number placement before you mentioned it. I think I bought the Cuyler from you too. Thanks

Here is the W517 Terry in yellow and the original art for the card. Note the stain where the # sticker fell off the artwork. Judging from the Miller I think they needed better glue!

Also seems appropriate to note that the W517 and PC Back Exhibits share the same artwork with the same handwritten captions on the cards common to both sets:

And that the same pattern is repeated with a series of entertainment cards:

And check out the Eddie Collins, Bing Miller and Charlie Klein on this 4 on 1: Same art as the W517:

And this Cobby strip from the PC Back art:

All these sets are as interrelated as an Appalachian mining town.

Very interesting Exhibitman. Thanks for the post.
