Default 1928 Ice Cream Sets

Posted By: Richard

I don't know if this has ever been a topic before, but does anyone know how the various ice cream sets produced their cards and/or found the photographs for their cards? Were all of the 1928 ice cream sets (Sweetman, Tharps, Harrington, Yuengling, W502) derived from the 1927 York pictures? And is there any way to confirm that the 1928 sets were all actually from 1928?

Please find the following pictures attached: Tharps on the left and Yuenglings on the right. It appears that the yuenglings picture was derived from a copy of the tharps, or another set's actual card. You can even see the left edge of the "photocopy" in the yuenglings card. Could it be that some 1928 sets predate others? Or some of the 1928 sets were actually produced in 1927?

I only have the Gehrig card as an example to compare (The Gehrig card may be the only example of the "photocopy" image?). If anyone else has other cards from similar sets that have a similar "copied" effect, please share.
