Unknown cards

Regarding the Lloyd Waner card...Adam is correct that it is from the tougher "Type 2" E210 set, also referred to as the glossy York caramels as they tend to have a glossy sheen to them. However, the easiest way to tell a Type 1 from a Type 2 is the direction of print on back. Do a search on this site and you will find a few threads where we have discussed the sets before.

Regarding the Doerr...he is actually one of the subjects that helped to re-date the R314 "Creamy" set all the versions were once dated 1936. Doerr didn't begin his major league career until 1937 so that is how we know that that set was produced in 1937 at the earliest, so the date on the slab is correct.

Regarding the Waner; do you think SGC should designate "Type 2" on the flip? I think it would be a good idea to distinguish one from the other.

Rob, I assume you meant E210 Waner Type 2 and not R314 Doerr. A theory is that the E210-1 (Type 1 set) was a 1927 issue and the E210-2 (or Type 2 set) was a 1928 issue, so maybe they didn't feel the need to add the type b/c they do have it dated 1928 but I would prefer to see either "Type 2" or "E210-2' on the flip as that has always been the way to distinguish the sets.

Yup, I did mean the Waner. Thanks for the response Rhett.

On the 1937 Doerr, one way to differentiate the type 4 is that there is no "Litho in USA" in the lower corner, since Type 4 "creamy" stock paper was used for the Canadian issued set for '37. The reason I know this is because I just went through the same thing with the Carl Hubbell last month.

Also, while we are on the subject of these cards I want to point out that NOT ALL Yuengling's are the re-screened image that you commonly see. There are two versions of the Yuengling's set that are different in the following ways (I'm calling them Type 1 & 2 but have never seen them referred to as one or the other anywhere else, so it isn't a classified difference like is noted on the E210 Type 1 & 2's)...

Type 1 (a bit more common)--has a re-screened image of the cards with that dirty gray box around the name. Also note that these cards' backs have an offer for a $5.00 skooter at bottom.

Type 2 (a bit tougher to find and a bit nicer looking)--not re-screened image (sans gray box), the back does NOT have the $5.00 skooter ad.
