Wrestling card variation from the 1920s

For a long time PSA refused to grade this issue but I was happy to see they changed their stance and that I was able to get these done.

    Cool cards, but I'm confused. Why the different set designator (W519 vs W521) if it's the same issue with a reverse negative?

    +1 on that question for sure. They've got plenty of pairs of regular vs. reverse image graded for strip boxing cards, so I don't quite understand why it wouldn't have been consistent between the wrestling and boxing cards from the same set all along?

    I wish I could answer your question but I am at a loss for words on the story behind this.

    I do notice some font/spacing differences between the two cards, but are all the W521s that same image or is there one that matches the W519?
