Good call Jason...definitely looks like it was derived from the W515 card, or perhaps from whatever photo that the makers of the W515 set used to create the Adams card.

I'm bored at work. Google is passing the time. Maybe this is the photo that was used?

Being bored at work can be the time when we are most productive in our collecting interests.
I would say that the photo shown is most likely the source image, especially because of the background match on the W515 card. Brian

I have heard that the strip cards with blue lettering were reproductions.

A follow up on this topic...here is a a strip of five of these cards I encountered, including the Adams I have, the Hoyt I noticed being sold previously, as well as a Cobb. What do you people make of this strip?

Well, although I don't concede that it's genuine, it does appear to follow the design and general color scheme of the 1923 German transfers. Same images as W515-1 with modified colored backgrounds, blue font and year of production (if real). Note that although the cards are unnumbered, they do correspond with numbers 6-10 of the W515-1 set, which suggests they were properly placed on a strip that followed the same printing scheme. Still, the "Made in Germany" statement seems almost conveniently placed to me.

I thought it would be interesting to see a comparison of this mystery strip to the corresponding cards from the W515-1 set. I think this strip might have actually been based upon the corresponding W515-2 cards, due to its larger player image, which is what is seen in the W515-2 set.
