Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>Why 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. <br />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. <br /><br />Question: Will nice photo "W" cards ever get the respect (and value) they deserve? <br /><br />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?
