Strip Cards
Although I think they are ugly, I have pursued a set of them. It is the only pre war set I have worked on and only because it was related to my goal of a complete run of Topps and Fleer baseball cards. I don't collect graded cards either, they just came that way

Thanks for sharing. I never knew that there was a Fleer connection. How is the setting going? Sent using Tapatalk

1923 Fleer
Alex---very slow. Assuming there are a corresponding number of the 515s with Fleer advertising as are in the 'regular" set, I am only about 1/3 done. They do not pop up very often

Like Dan was saying these can get pretty expensive and as long as they have not been trimmed under their standard size they can a numerical grade. This is my latest one.

Strip Cards
I've always thought strip cards were kinda neat, especially if you're a collector on a budget and/or wanting to inexpensively pick up some HOFs. I put together the W512 baseball series set (full disclosure - for sale in BST) because it contains some of the best to ever play the game and there are variations, which made collecting the set that much more fun. No, they're not considered beautiful cards and would never be ranked next to T206s, '52 Topps or whatever card series you consider to be attractive. But still neat in my opinion.

Strip cards
Is the card you have graded ? If not the SCD Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards gives some general pricing parameters, but they are not super reliable. If you want me to send you that info I could possibly do it in a pm

It's graded authentic. It seems to me that most are graded authentic. I wasn't really looking for info on my one specific card, just general info. I don't even know if most collectors will collect them. They are not particularly great looking cards.

They are not the best looking cards but the stars (such as Ruth) command premiums. Sent using Tapatalk

One of the reasons some people found it odd that you knew the set designation is that there are lots of strip card sets, and some come in multiple versions - Including some that aren't cataloged as different versions. Identifying strip cards takes a bit of looking through the books the first couple times.
As it's been said, most will grade as "A". The companies look for whatever they consider to be full borders, usually all or most of any dotted lines that were between cards. They're somewhat challenging sets, even the small ones. Some are more challenging. Hardly any are considered good looking. I like them, but I'm not in the majority. When I started collecting they were pretty cheap when you found them, and I don't have many because somehow they're still stuck in my mind as being $2-5 cards, maybe 10 for a great player and a bit more for the really big names. That's changed as the in- career cards of the biggest names have gotten expensive. As an aside, you may have noticed it's a pretty snarky crowd here. Don't take it personally, pretty much everyone would get the same sort of response. (The question was a bit vague....) Steve B

I think that was the difficulty most were having with your question. A common strip card, in good condition, may be worth nothing or next to nothing, where a star like Cobb, Hornsby, or Ruth could obviously have relatively high value (not unlike regular issue cards). Your question was a little broad is all I'm saying.
