1927 W560 Playing Cards Chicago Cubs or is it?

Despite being assigned a "W" number in the American Card Catalog, this "strip" card series was actually released as four distinct uncut sheets measuring 7" x 11" with 16 subjects each. The collection features both non-sport celebrities and athletes. The backs are made of a tannish-gray card stock. W560 cards can be discovered with red ink (Hearts and Diamonds), black ink (Clubs and Spades), or a rarer version that showcases both red and black ink on each card. Additionally, the front card stock may vary in color from yellowish to pinkish.

This set may be incorrectly dated since Rogers Hornsby didn't join the Cubs until 1929.

    There are problems like this all over this issue but SCD refuses to re-date it to 1929. The Walter Hagen card explicitly states that he is the 1929 British Open Champ.
