Strip cards

[Leon]

Strips are a great way to collect scarce but cheap(er) cards......

I love the rainbow of subjects that are in strips.

To be honest, I have far more nonsport cards than players. The actors and famous celebrities are a slice of history.

I have been on the hunt for Arbuckle lately, but have some great ones like houdini, Chaplin, and Harold Lloyd.

I've showed this one before, but hey, it's my favorite strip card!

There was an Arbuckle recently on EBay but I forgot to bid! I need his card also for my classic comedians sub set I am working on.

Ron, did you have that frame made yourself? I have a W573 strip (formerly of the prestigious Luckey collection) that I'd like to display at some point. Do you know how the cards were mounted in the frame?

I purchased the 1922 W573 Sisler simply because I wanted a card from his .420 year (in Strat-o-matic, as a kid, you either wanted that card of Sisler or Gehrig's 1927 year--.373, 47 HR's, 118 extra-base hits--as your first baseman).
Was quite a year for George, with, as I recall off the top of my head, 44 doubles, 16 triples, 8 Hr's and 51 stolen bases! It really doesn't make any difference to me that its a strip card, as opposed to American Caramel or whatever.

Thumbs up to stippers,

Larry

This card in my collection used to be in a PSA "A" holder :

Back in 1980 I had a choice between the one you have and the one I chose to buy at a Flea Market. They display very well

I just picked up this W517 today at a card show... it's my first strip card (actually my first pre-1952 card... yes, I'm a pre-war newbie). I'm totally in love with it.
