W572 "Metro Star" cards??
 

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Anyone ever seen this before?<br /><br />This W572 card is so miscut that there is print at the top, but it is not part of another card, it says "Metro Star"<br /><br />Could it be the yet unknown name of the company that issued these strips???<br /><br /><img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/w572metrostar.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>That card looks much more black and white to me than other W572s. Don't they usually have a little toning to them, maybe sepia?

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>I ended up binning it. The price was obviously higher than a normal W572 should have been but I thought it having metro star at the top was very neat. Even if it turns out to be nothing special, I haven't really sesearched it yet, I have never owned a W572 before so it will be a new type card for me.

Posted By: <b>David Smith</b><p>If so, then "Metro Star" could refer to the movie company and not the maker of the cards. I have a bunch of actor and actress felts (like BF2's) which have the person's name and the movie company they work for.<br /><br />David

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>I do think the card is much more obviously black and white than the average W572. Most of the time they are toned even if just a little bit. I guess it could be a result of age and this one was kept away safe from anything that could harm it.

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>I have never heard of a W572 actor or actress card, but whoever made them also produced boxing cards which came in a 10 card strip mixed with baseball cards. Has anyone seen or owned a card of an actor or actress that shares the similar time period of W572s and looks similar, name in script, black and white, and numbered ?<br /><br />Edited to ad I can not find O'Farrell in my W572 checklist, then again my SCD is outdated by a few years, but can anyone help me who has the 2006 book and see if he is in the checklist ? Thanks in advance.
