Does anyone know why my copy of W 516-1 Mathewson (Number 24) does not have a number? Error card? See scans of both with and without.

It looks like the paper from the surface, which the number would be printed on is missing.

I know of what you speak but I've examined under high magnification and find no evidence that paper is missing. Thanks for your comment.

isn't w516 the set that has 3 different types? I agree, does not look like paper is missing since you can see the period after the N.

Yes, and the other variations of 516-1 both have card numbers. Oh well, I'll keep looking.

"Does anyone know why .... ?"

I have to go with the Philosophy 101 answer: Why Not ???

They're strip cards, and from my limited experience, anything goes: reverse images, assending/decending numbering, no numbers, captions, etc. If strips get more popular (and they will, but only to a certain level), we'll see more and be able to answer more about them.

w512 Goldstein, with and without number (he is the only w512 I've seen without a number):
