I have seen the paper sides on eBay and even won a pair just to try them out. I
am looking for something different. The old screen printing (?), to my eye,
looks more like a painted car then color laser or offset printing. I don't
believe the eBay seller embosses his sides as you find on some of the better
cardstock.
Jace - to add to your list. There were a fair amount of cardstock sides in OO
scale before and just after the war. I believe they were produced by Cleveland
under the Champion brand. Maybe it's the slightly smaller scale but I've got
some from the 30's that until you pick them up and look closely you would never
know they were paper. The lettering is crisp and more or less complete for
their day unlike the later wood sides that tend to lack dimensional data etc.
In some ways, I wish paper had stayed around longer as a more detailed
alternative to the stamp printed wood or metal kits.
