I don't have any answers,Leon but have to say that they are beauties and are already rising in value methinks!!

Not that it adds anything, but just noticed that the horizontal strip has the players position and team in small font along bottom border, while the vertical strips do not.

Assuming those are both period - I think maybe you've got two different issues there!

Thanks!

So Leon's horizontal strip shows that the Type B and Type D cards (Old Cardboard's Names) were printed on the same strip. That's interesting.

Very good! Are players known to exist with both Type B and Type D?

Yes, there have always been four different type captions known on these. I too thought it interesting that the horizontal strip has different captions on it. I have never seen another horizontal strip of these though I have seen about 5-10 vertical ones.....and they have always been strips of 3. The other thing is, we know Burdick made some mistakes but why the heck are these classified as a recent gum issue, "R"? BTW, who says you can't collect on a budget? The strip of 5 was $99, and in the correct category!!
