One of the many “strip card” sets of the period, the W512
set was initially issued in 1926 and includes 10 baseball players among its 50
cards. The 1-3/8" by 2-1/4" cards feature crude color drawings of the
subjects with their names below. A card number appears in the lower left corner.
Baseball players lead off the set and are numbered from 1 to 10. Like most
strip cards they have blank backs. At least four of the baseball player cards
have been found in a second type on which the team name is presented in a typewriter
style font on the second line; these changes reflect the player status as of
1927.
