A Collector’s Guide to Pre-War Strip Cards Within vintage collecting circles, “strip cards” (as they are known) have long been thought of as the forgotten step-child in the hobby. The cards were initially either sold or provided to customers in various retail stores in the 1920’s. The cards were issued in a long strip (hence the name) and either cut or distributed in partial uncut strips. The anonymity of the cards (most have no known issuer) and a lack of a printed back has led to strip cards to an underestimated level of popularity compared to some of the more well-known candy or tobacco issues. In addition, from a grading perspective, the cards remain a challenge, since the cards were meant to be hand-cut. While some cards have surfaced in uncut sheets, those that have been cut get somewhat different treatment from the card graders. PSA for example with label a strip card as only ‘Authentic’ with no numeric grade if the card has been cut within the pre-dotted line, despite the overall condition. Yet, despite the obvious flaws, these cards offer baseball card collectors a more reasonable way to collect some of the biggest names from yesteryear.
