It is my opinion that the "torn" look is due to how the cards were likely distributed. The possibly came in a large roll and pulled out like tape from a dispenser and the person simply tore them against a slightly sharp edge which resulted in the "torn" look... similar to how we get tape out of a tape dispenser.

Here's one posted by a board member some time back. Note the descended "u" in Pittsburgh-- I don't recall seeing that on the other sets.

Rhett...I tend to agree. There are two distinct styles of W-501...with and without numbers...I cannot determine the paper finish inside the slab, but 501's, while similar to 575's, tend to have a slightly more screened finish

For comparison, here are the W501-1, the W501-2, and the W575-1 cards of Sam Rice - the "grainy" photo quality of the W501s in comparison the the W575-1 that Rhett mentioned is easy to see:

I have a W575-1 Elmer Miller that appears the same way. Looks different than my other W575-1 of him and the printing is grainier than the others
