Late breaking 1936 S&S Game Card news

Brian, I've had a few sets over the years & never knew about the Cuyler variation.

The sets were issued in 2 styles of boxes, large & small
here's the small box

Hi Jay, I have a feeling that the variation can only be found with the tan back cards...have you ever owned any of the tan backs?

I had a tan one but not Cuyler. As a type collector I didn't see too many of the tan ones.

I've had a bunch of Tan ones over the years & still have a few
Don't remember if I had Cuyler or not.
I always liked KiKi, as we shared the same birthday, along w/ Ted Williams

FYI...the Kiki Cuyler in the complete set of tan backs offered in the current Bagger's auction is spelled 'Cyler'.

An early uncorrected error, unless the corrected one came later? If it were a T206 someone might be able to retire on the sale of it.

I'm thinking the tan backed 'Cyler' cards I have seen indicate that the fairly uncommon tan back version of the set was released prior to the more common green backs, and the error corrected for the green back run. I have not seen a 'Cuyler' tan back nor a 'Cyler' green back.

I concur with your hypothesis.
