steveWhy do the nice, real photo, 1920's strip cards get a bad image? just because they are catalogued as strip cards, collectors tend to shy away.
Most people think of strip cards as those horrible looking cartoonish things. However, for example, W575's and W502's are sharp looking real photo cards - they sure don't look like hand cut disasters. In the REA catalog, I notice several oddball 1920's issues that are bread cards, clothing cards and candy cards. Due to their cataloging as non-strip cards, their value is much greater.
Question: Will nice photo "W" cards ever get the respect (and value) they deserve?
Question: Some strip cards DO NOT look like strip cards, and could very well have been issued in sheets. They have so much similarity to other 1920's non-strip cards. Can/will their cataloging ever be changed?
