Here are 3 examples I have that seem to point to also being issued in strip format.

Brian (the backs have been enlarged, like on cereal boxes, to show texture. Or perhaps my scanning abilities are sadly lacking. Today, and today only, it is your choice to believe either)

Those look like 2 trimmed cards and one W501? How many of these strips have we seen, if they are strip cards? That said, there is little doubt they were manufactured in sheets.
I could always be wrong, I am pretty good at it!

Leon,

Does the guy on eBay know what a prominent knowledgable hobby leader you are? Can he even hit a softball?

I am getting old. My team said I made a pretty good catch in deep right center last night, but I totally screwed up my right shoulder. It hurt then and still hurts.

The ebayer said they were on this forum., I asked for their id and they gave me a .com one. We don't allow those so we'll see. They have a variation of Speaker...and as I told them there are a ton of variations in this set.

There are some "Salesman Sample" uncut sheets out there. I remember Heritage had a pristine copy that didn't sell a few years ago. Here's my beater copy. Back is blank, of course. I won this one from an old Lipset auction. I think at the same time, there was also an uncut Koesters Bread sheet, which I'm kicking myself that I didn't bid higher on, which was in much better condition.

That's awesome, Gary. Thanks for sharing. What makes you think it's a salesman's sample? Just curious if it could just be an uncut sheet? Regardless, it's great.

Hi Leon, sorry, I should have used "store display" instead of "salesman sample." I couldn't quite remember what the terminology that Heritage used in their auction. Anyway, I found the Heritage listing here (Link) where they describe the sheet in detail. The scan from the auction is below. My guess is that it wouldn't be a true uncut sheet due to the top header/title line which shows it's meant for customer display or to be given to customers.

I think those are not hand cut in the original post. I also think some w573 varieties are factory cut not hand cut. W502 also appear to be factory cut.

I�m def in the factory cut camp, however the top and bottom of this Johnson doesn�t look like a factory cut or a typical trim

I believe that to be a variety of W501.
