W514 opinions on why they are not as popular.......

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

It seems to me that new collectors do not care for strip cards, because of their nature. They don't care for the artwork, size, miscut shape, paper, and on and on...

And it seems to me as a collector matures and expands his collecting horizons, that there's a high likelihood that he'll start collecting one or more of the strip card sets.

If we got a simple poll going with questions: 1- how long have you collected pre WWII cards? 2- do you collect W514s or W515s? I'm confident that the W card collectors would be skewed toward the long time collectors.

So I think the answer to the question is because of the reasons in the first paragraph, coupled with how long the collector has collected.
