Default Card Identification help

Hi All,

I need help identifying a card (and unfortunately I can't find my camera - so I have to describe it and hope I get lucky someone can figure this out!).

The card has a cartoonish front, very crude drawing (and in this case it's the back of a baseball player - you don't see his face, and his glove is prominent) - but I think the most distinguishing part is the back. The back is entirely diagonal yellow lines - with a few filled in to make solid yellow diamonds, and most left blank (to make white Diamonds). The card has been obviously trimmed so no clue what the front r back border looks like. It's definitely wider than a T206 (maybe 1.5 times) and is about the same height.

I won it in an Ebay lot and when I received it came in a holder that said: "1909 Strip Card S67+3.00".

I've never heard of an S type card and when I looked up 1909s in the SCG it wasn't anything they had listed.

Wish I had a picture to share ... but can anyone hazard a guess as to what this might be?

Thanks!
Patrick





I recently moved and haven't been able to find my camera yet - so I don't have a picture

was the card depicted in a photo in the eBay listing? If so, what was the auction #, maybe we can see it that way?

According to Old Cardboard, S-types are supposed to be stamps or silks....

Easy for you ... but not for me! I had NO CLUE.

I was kidding about the easy part


I just took a good look at the W552 sheet in the last month and remembered the back design.

PS the name of the company and the year is at the top of the sheet, if you didnt notice.
