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.
