show your strip cards

[Leon]

I enjoy strip cards as I know a few other members do too. They are one of the few areas of pre-war collecting where you can still do it on a budget. Well, unless you fight over some obscure ones. While Lew doesn't think these are strip cards, and is probably correct, that is the way they are listed, 1915 W-Unc. Show some of your stip cards if you would like to ..... I was very excited to get these in the mail today.

you must have a money tree in your back yard.

Love those Leon, very nice pick-ups!!!

Here are a few of my favorites..............

[ChiefBenderForever]

My favorite strip !!

[iggyman]

W572 strip.



And in my opinion, the W514 strip set looks great in 15 pocket pages (no matter what condition)...



Lovely Day...

[Ladder7]

Can't beat the handcrafted cuts. Never seen those 1915 WUNCs. Earliest baseball strips?

[iggyman]

W553 strip (as an FYI, these came in strips of 5)...



Lovely Day...

[Brian Van Horn]

Too many to list with Lot 47 Lobert on its way.

Beautiful items, gentlemen! W cards have really grown on me over the last several years.

[Jacklitsch]

[Kawika]

Nice Thorpe, Leon.
My one and only:
(Mutoscope added for Brian T.)

[White Borders]

My W502 Mays, which appears to be the cropped version of Orions father's W575-1 Mays posted earlier in this thread.

[HBroll]

Here are some of my Ruth's...

[terjung]

Is it wrong to have wanted to see Mutoscopes in the strip card thread?

[D. Broughman]

Bush, Cobb, Bell & Carey

I don't think it's wrong...post away Brian.... ...."strip" card can really only loosely be defined anyway, imo. And that can take the connotation of "strip" in a whole different direction !!

On the subject of whether or not they are strip cards heere are some examples of one set:

[bcbgcbrcb]

Brian:

Which set is that?

[HRBAKER]

Phil, they look like W503s.

[HRBAKER]

[Brian Van Horn]

Phil,

Jeff is correct. The set designation is W503.

[clamendo]

Leon I would have been more impressed if Thorpe was in a football uniform!

[HRBAKER]

Don't forget the W590s which always come in variety of shapes and sizes, mostly mutilated.

[Bosox Blair]

Card is actually Harry Hooper...thought this would get a number grade, but...?

[Brian Van Horn]

Time to throw in some W504s:

[carrigansghost]

A fortunate find.

[paul]

One tough rookie.

[fkw]

1921 W516-2-3 (print freak)


1920 W519-2-2


1920 W520


1920 W522


1921 W9316


1923 W515-1 (strip of 5)


1922 W573 (2 complete vertical strips)

[bcbgcbrcb]

You got that right, Paul. That's the only example I have ever seen, although I think one of the big auction houses currently has a couple of the complete team uncut sheet sets and I believe that the Giants may be in there.

[quinnsryche]

OK, this might not be the right place for this question, BUT, how does a card marked on the holder "HAND CUT" get a numerical grade? I see from the multiple posts that some get a grade and others get an "A". Does anyone know how that process works? If the strip collectors out there submit a card for grading do you already know how it will come back based on the history of that issue or is it a crap shoot? Just curious if anyone has any opinions.
Nice cards all and thanks for sharing!

This is a great question Tony. I would like to get my W572 Ty Cobb graded but don't know who to send it to. I thought you had a better chance to get a grade from SGC then PSA but with these post I'm not sure. Did PSA give grades out earlier but now put authentic on cut cards? Who should I have grade my Cobb? Thanks D.

[bcbgcbrcb]

What I have found, for the most part, is if the card meets the minimum size requirements based on the measurements listed in the SCBC, the grading company will usually give a numerical grade, otherwise it usually gets an "Authentic".

[iggyman]

I've sent strip cards to both SGC and PSA and it's like playing craps. Obviously, a strip card has to have all four margins to receive a numerical grade (although, I've had exceptions). But, in my opinion, on any given strip card submission, whether one receives a grade other then "A," depends solely on the grader. Regrettably, there just isn't any ryhme or reason to the process. I'll post a pic later today of a recently submitted SGC graded Cobb strip card, that I thought was a 100% candidate for a number grade. Alas it came back authentic.

Lovely Day...
