W519-1 Sisler and Early 1900s Baseball Strip Cards....

[Leon]

A lot of collectors think about collecting vintage and feel it will be too expensive of an endeavor. There are countless ways to collect on a budget and have a lot of fun. One way is with strip cards. Some collectors don't like their crudeness while others enjoy them for that very fact. Personally I have always liked a bit of everything (except liver, I can't stand liver with/without onions, but I digress) and I fall into the second group of enjoying them.
Here is a type of strip card (W519-1) with the mfg. printing on the side border. There are 3 types of W519s and this is the first, and probably most common type. However, only a small % have the printer writing on them and an even smaller % have it full (these are cut strips after all), plain and clear. If anyone wants to share a scan of a strip card, please do.....happy collecting!!
