To your earlier question Bill, yes- strip cards are hand cut from strips of cards... this isn't necessarily a strip, but was hand cut from what had been a pair of Menko cards. I know there are a number of uncut strips that have been posted to the board.
.. and a couple more "attainable" alternatives to the famous T206 portraits

Those are great cards, Ian! Lots of variety, too. As for the vintage, you're allowed!  I don't think anybody here will raise a stink to your inclusion of the great Jackie Robinson!
I have seen those Sporting Life cards before, and I like them very much. The colors are very soft, almost like they were done with pastels. Eventually I'll be adding a Wagner and a Plank to my collection, and those two are great candidates. They evoke the Monster, but they stand on their own, also.
You knew I'd like all of those. Come the beginning of the year, the hardest part for me will be choosing which cards I want to buy first.

I thought they might be, but I learned long ago not to make assumptions on something I am not knowledgeable about. Thank you!
