Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not being critical of Burdick. I was fortunate enough to see his entire collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
back in 1990 (when they allowed you to see it in its entirety). And, I have a tremendous appreciation for what he accomplished for the BB card hobby
and the Non-Sports card hobby.

Having said that, I feel he "erred" on issues such as the 1948 Blue Tint cards and these 1943 and 1949 M & P cards. I also collected these as a kid (in
1949) and trust me....just like the Blue Tint's....the M & P's were not associated with any form of Gum or Candy.

Also, I have all 16 (8-card) strips of the Smilin' Jack issue that you linked to. It's quite interesting that many of these strip issues were printed in an 8
card horizontal format.

Anyhow, we are stuck with the "R" designation....and, it's no big deal.
