1921 W-UNC Self Developing Strip Cards

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

What would you say if I told you it looks like 6 new ones have been discovered and I will hopefully have 19 different in my November auction?

Pretty impressive...both 6 newly discovered cards of a very rare issue, and the fact that embers on this thread took 15 years to rekindle into a burning flame.

Tell us more!

Link to Old Cardboard listing for this set (it was posted previously in the thread, but after 15 years it deserves a totally pointless update by me).

The second the contract is signed I will post details. I can tell you that the new additions to the checklist include Zach Wheat, George Sisler, George Kelly and Rabbit Marranville.

Here is an image of the Ty Cobb from this set, as seen in the Old Cardboard listing. A fantastic photo of him.

As Leon's post shows us, there is a Christy Mathewson in the set. I also noticed this checklist on the prewarcards.com site:

This list also indicates that an Ed Murphy card exists, which makes it 15 cards that have previously been identified as part of the issue.

Also Anson in his article mentions that the self-developing aspect has never been confirmed. I have some doubts that these cards were self-developing, as their images are much too strong compared to other self-developing cards (for example the Tattoo Orbits).

Brian (having fun with obscure cool set)

Anson is actually writing a new entry about the find tonight!

Better yet, there is a WaJo in the set.

Figures you would already have one Val.

Any idea what you paid? Trying to find sales data is a nightmare

Scott, I'll respond here, rather than via a PM, as this info is available to anyone. I won it in the August 2015 Heritage Auction of Leon's fabulous type collection. I paid $454.10.

As this was 6 years ago, I doubt this pricing info will be of much use to you.
