I have a graded 1926 Lambert & Butler Who's Who in Sport #2 R.T. Jones that seems to have an error/variation in that it does not have the "Lambert & Butler / England" text printed in the small box near the bottom on the back side, though there's no note about the variation on the flip. Has anyone here ever seen this error on any cards from the set?
Thank you very much!

Of course, I could be wrong. But, I don't think I am.
Any idea as to the difference in value for the 1926 L&B vs. the 1927 Brit/Amer for R.T. (Bobby) Jones? The pop report is 225 for 1926 vs. 51 for 1927. It is easy to find the 1926 version raw/ungraded too, but I don't see another 1927 right away. However, there is usually more interest in a first/earliest issue.

You're welcome.
Mechanical errors; story of my life...

In my experience, the BAT cards are a little harder to find (however, my experience is with purchasing Gene Tunney cards), while the Lambert and Butler are a little easier to track down (again, my experience is with Tunney). I would definitely keep it if you are happy with the card, and try to find a lambert and butler. No idea about value. Maybe one of the golf guys?
As a side note, there is a variation in the 1926 L&B set where the card's number (on the front) can be found either directly to the left of the subject's name or directly above the subject's name. The number above version is much, much tougher. Not sure if this variation also exists on the B.A.T. cards.
