The cards are of unknown origin, although, since there are no National League players in the set, it's believed they were issued in American League ballparks.

The problem with naming this set is that no one can say for sure who made this set, or even how it was distributed. Most of Burdick's W cards are that way. In addition most people in the hobby associate this set with 1933 and not 1932. I do not know enough about this set to say with certainty that we need to change it (I just noticed when looking through eBay that PSA considers them 1932 while SGC on there graded version considers them 1933) (Edited)
Also like Ballfan stated above most also believe these were seperate team issue that were sold or distributed to season ticket holders by each individual teams which is why the Yankees did not have any made.

Ol' Chalmer -- 'Bill' to his friends -- finished eleventh in 1932's MVP voting, when Jimmie Foxx won. He started the year as a White Sox infielder, and moved east shortly into the season. His 1927 debut in the bigs put him under a microspcope, because Charles Comiskey paid $123,000 to buy him from the Portland Beavers -- a princely sum in those days...

" From what the SCD says, W574's are 2-1/4" X 2-7/8" "

Thanks.
Looks like it is closer to standard size or just a little bit bigger. That is the thing with pre standard sized cards. Many were smaller due to being "tobacco" cards and others were larger just because.
