Item Description
1-3/8x2.25". The 1923 W515-1 "strip card set" consists of 60 individual cards. Each blank-backed card depicts a colorful drawing of a player taken from an Underwood & Underwood wire photograph and prominently displays the copyright symbol and "U & U" at the bottom left. The image is centered near the top of the card while the card number, player's name, position, team and league are printed across the bottom.

(Jesse Barnes, Virgil Barnes); and there are two cards bearing "Babe" Ruth's image (#3 & #47).
