How exactly "rare" are these
 

Good morning all,

I was perusing the HA "Sunday Sports" auctions last night and noticed this "card":

https://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-c...151639-44005.s

It's listed as a 1922 issue, but shows a 1924 schedule on back. These types of items aren't in my wheelhouse (I didn't bid), but I realized I hadn't seen one before.

Just wondering if anyone had some info - I searched here and saw that Leon had something similar, but the back featured a different advertisement.

Edited to add: my subject should read "exactly how rare are these"

It used to be mine and is the only one I have seen like it in 20 yrs....I think it's rare.

Thanks Leon - I guess given their rarity, responses to this thread will be just as rare.

The series, from what I have heard and read, originated in the Detroit area so the ad makes sense. I had one other card which was a half ad on a whole card, as this would have been. That was the only other one I have seen with an ad but I would absolutely believe more exist. Most likely they are out there and no one really cares enough to really know. Kinda' like this thread :).. A W575 is a W575.......

W575 is as W575 does
 

The only one I have ever seen is/was Leon's example. And by the way, the W575 set has some great images and is underrated in my opinion. I also think that they might have been issued in non-strip form, as I have seen plenty that look machine cut (to my untrained eye).

Neat stuff. These are my favorite types of threads. Thank you for all of the input thus far

I've noticed that whenever I see a W-575-2, it usually has a photo I've never seen. This is quite a contrast to so many 1920s sets, which recycled the same photos again and again.

There are some cool photos. They didn't seem to care about using up to date images/team info either. Daubert last played for Brooklyn in 1918. There are other examples in the set with older images (Rixey/Philly, Marquard/Cinci). I placed a couple bids on the schedule card, but missed out. Here's a regular blank back Daubert of mine...

Final Auction Price
 

As I have not signed up for Heritage Auctions, I am hoping someone can provide the final hammer price of this card, as I am interested in learning how a piece like this translates to the value of the actual cards. Thanks, Ron

$430.20

I think that is SO COOL :cool:

- to be able to identify specific items up for sale as those you previously owned - speaks volumes on how rare the items actually are.

I like the images on the card. It reminds me of the Exhibit cards!

I saw a group of these at a small show in NJ and the seller had an original shipping envelope with them. But only way to get the envelope was to buy the group which I should have done. Just my 2 cents..

Neat stuff - were they these side by side examples with schedules on the backs?
