There are some off the charts great cards in this thread. Thanks for sharing!

This Swift's Variety Shop is the only one of Plank I have seen. It's in a nice CGC holder now, with the mention of the back.

Thank you for sharing Leon.
I understand better now; the Barry (World Champs), Swift's backstamp (ala Connie) that I had (and sold, umph). I could never quite figure that one out; makes more sense now.

I was always a fan of T-5 's and The Collins T-5; variant That Leon posted I owned for over 40 years. But I never understood the half a scorecard backs of these W530's . Basicly useless keeping score of one team during a game. I still remember the first time I saw one at a show ( mid 1970's) I was excited until I turned it over.. thought about it and put it down. It just struck me as "off". I thought that one day I would find a complete one with both sides of the scorecard. Must have been issued by someone who didn't understand the game.
Now 50 plus years later I appreciate them for what they are. Thanks for sharing.
