1919 w552
Hi Paul -
I am certainly not a strip card expert, but I do happen to have the same baseball strip you have. It's from 1919. Mine is also 10 players, with the "pitcher" being misspelled (as it is on yours). I believe it also comes in a 12-card version. The player poses and the colors used on the 10-card strip are different than the ones on the 12-card strip.
I purchased mine a few years ago and put it in a frame in my office. Mine is in very nice condition and I think I paid around $75-80.
Hope that helps a little,
Brad
Edited to add: It was always puzzling to me that five of the six position players on this 10-card strip are left-handed (I'm not counting the pitcher, base runner or two batters). Especially the catcher and both shortstops (?). I'm guessing that the artist was not a baseball fan. Kind of like baseball artwork that you see sometimes where home plate is backwards.
