When I first encountered strip cards I disliked them for the reasons Bobby stated, plus they are of an odd, usually smaller size. |

Few would call them the centerpiece of their collection, but what strip cards -- particularly W515's -- have going for them are vivid art deco-like colors, a nice player selection, and affordability. They also look interesting, this despite one unfortunate pose of Babe Ruth which makes him look like a geisha (I call it his "Geisha Ruth" card). Also, think about the number of W515 sets you've seen compared to the number of T206 sets and it should give you some idea about how difficult some of these paper-stock sets are to complete. |

I like strip cards. They come in so many different sizes and shapes it keeps it interesting (at least to me). They generally won't cost you an arm and a leg although there are some that get into 4 figure money....I think too that the stereotypical thinking of a strip card might be like a W515, W560 etc....I think it's quite the contrary in terms of what I enjoy collecting......(I do still like the W515, W560 etc.. but not as much as others) |

I don't like them for the same reason I don't like the MP Co cards - I collect cards to get a feeling for the player on the card - I don't get that with cartoons. |

They're not all cartoonish. W514's sometimes resemble the players. I, for one, don't share the prejudice against the strip cards with photos. It's good that you can still get key players from w-575-1 or W502 without spending much. |

You're right - in my mind I meant to qualify my statement but it didn't translate to my post. I don't mind any of the real-image W cards; in fact, I have a few myself - just the cartoons. |
