1922 W 575-2 are a vintage set of baseball cards originally issued by the Kromo Gravue Photo Company out of Detroit Michigan. The set contains 40 blank backed, black and white cards with a number of Hall Of Fame players. Sometimes called the "autograph on shoulder" series because of their facsimile signatures, these cards measure 2-1/8" x 3-3/8".

Probably not a strip set but at least one short strip is known (not mine any longer)...Don't get me started on strip cards ....They are still the wild west for the TPG's.....

Does that count as a strip? Looking at the back, they're clearly not meant to be separated. I'd be surprised if that item had any direct connection to the set other than the manufacturer of the schedule had access to those Detroit photos and used them just as that, photos for the reverse.
