Default W551 Home Run Baker

Posted By: Marty Ogelvie

I found two of these listed on ebay.  One looks legit while the other does not but I am not familiar with these enough to be sure.

Will the real HOME RUN BAKER, please stand up.

#1  http://tinyurl.com/2wo898  - looks fishy to me

#2  http://tinyurl.com/3a433s  -  I like this one

both are legit. also, if you see a baker with same image but a yellow sky it's a w514. on many strip card issues card stock and colors could vary. sometimes even the images are reversed

Both are real. The apparent differences are caused by the way the images were produced. I used a scanner, while Dan's is a digital photograph. I think you should bid on both so you can compare them side by side. (Insert smiley here).

There are also color variations within the W551 set based on how much ink was used so they won't all look the same.

Some are printed on better stock than others in the same set.

Both look good. Dans is taken with a digital camera with weird lighting.
