Default Pretty Cool Uncatalgued 1939 Card Set (Info appreciated)

Posted By: Rhett Yeakley

Eric, thanks for posting your French, it is interesting that it does have a different background color than the one I have (the one in the Hunt's grouping had my same background color-orange). Also, the Stanley Hack I have is a far away shot that pictures him to his thighs, while the Hack in the Hunt's grouping was a closer shot that pictures him roughly to his waist (again, they used the same exact picture though). It may mean that there were 2 printings of these cards.

I have no explanation as to why mine do not have the staple holes at top that yours and the Hunt's grouping do. It could be as simple as one store-owner handing the cards out as opposed to stapling them to the product they may have come with, again, pure speculation here.

Anyways, pretty neat set of cards that are VERY enigmatic. I do love the colors in the set though!
