Uncatalogued card with team change points to different year of W573 issue

[brianp-beme]

Hi Jay, valid points, and there are certainly a lot of sets out there that were issued in multiple years. The W573 set has three distinctly different versions, one of which has never been reported before (as far as I know). There is a definite distinction between the three, especially these newly identified Type 3 cards, and I believe the DeVormer card seals the deal of these being separate issues. I have seen two Type 3 DeVormer cards, and both have Boston team designations.

Here is a scan of the three types of W573 that I detailed in my other post: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=278804 I think it is fairly easy to see each W573 type differs substantially from each other, but I have also spelled it out below

Top Row - Type 1 - B/W, hand cut, thin card stock

Middle Row - Type 2 - Either Sepia or Green tinted, hand cut, thin card stock

Bottom Row - Type 3 - B/W, machine cut, larger size than either Type 1 or 2, much heavier card stock

I literally had no idea that there were different types of W573.

Here's my Hartnett W573...Type 2 (apparently):

Nice card Derek, and correctly identified as Type 2. I came up with the different types for W573, because it became obvious to me that all 240 cards as seen in the E120 are not available in W573. Also these different types seem to have their own separate checklist. I know the checklists I included in the original W573 thread are not complete, but then again I don't think there is a huge amount that I am missing (unless more Type 3 cards were to pop up).

And by the way, until proven otherwise, the Type 2 Hartnett you have should rightfully be considered a 1922 card, so thus qualifies as one of his rookie cards.
