W573 and E120 checklist help requested, and identifying a new W573 type

[DaveW]

Hi Brian,
I have several that aren’t on your lists, but I’m confused. Here’s a picture of 4 cards with thick borders but obviously hand cut. All have blank backs and are on the normal thin stock. I guess they are Type 1 with thicker borders?

Hi Dave, I would consider those Type 1 cards because of their thin stock and the fact that they are hand cut. Type 1 cards are seen with slightly wider borders...check out the Type 1 Joe Schultz on the top right of the scan I included in the original post.

The four W573 cards that are shown in your scan are Type 1 cards. The list I provided for Type 1 is an Unconfirmed list, and each of those cards is not on the list, so they have already been confirmed. Thanks for posting and helping me provide everyone with some more clarifying information.

Now I get it! To get your Unconfirmed list, you took the 240 cards in the E120 set and subtracted out the known cards in the W573 set, leaving about 100 cards that you would like to confirm as being in both sets. Sorry, some days I’m a little slow. Anyway, I have a dozen or so W573 cards, but none are on your unconfirmed list. Good luck. It seems like an interesting research project but I suspect it will be slow going.

Hi Dave, that is exactly how I created the lists, except for Type 3, since so relatively few I have seen, I decided to just identify the Confirmed examples.

Here is another showing examples of each type, with Type 1 on top row, Type 2 in middle row, and Type 3 on bottom row.
