Auction #15 - October 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/29/2023
The R188 set is an obscure set that has two types--a type 1 that are small, 1 15/16" W by 2 11/16" H in size and full color-front and back--and a type 2 that is 1 7/8" W by 2 3/4" H in size and printed on cheaper, thinner paper stock. Both types note that they are from W.S.N.Y. and are dated 1941. W.S.N.Y. issued a number of cards--most notably many of the strip card sets in the "R" category. Most of the W.S.N.Y. issues are 'kitchy' type cards with less than the best artwork. Cards are unnumbered and only have W.S.N.Y. on them for identification purposes.
This lot of (24) cards from R188 W.S.N.Y. Games and Puzzles includes (15) from Type 1 and (9) from Type 2. All cards are in EX to EXMT condition. This is, by far, the largest amount of these we have had the pleasure of offering in any of our auctions. These cards are extremely scarce.
