I can speak to the W part of it. TPG's totally suck at grading any kind of W card. They just get it wrong A LOT. How many sheets or strips of W502s have we seen? (hint, almost none, if any at all). W502's weren't handcut unless they are trimmed....and that goes for the worst W card handcut designations of all, W575-1. They almost all say handcut on the slabs and they weren't handcut unless trimmed after the fact.
The TPG's putting handcut on these kinds of issues (W503 is the same, as are many more) is just stupid. They should know better. Rant over.
I don't "think" we know who released the W502 set, yet. They are believed to be associated with some kind of game.

My favorite is the 1921 W-UNC Self-developing Strip cards. They are not strip cards, not self-developing, and hell, there's probably a decent chance they're not 1921.
