1923 Strip Cards (W515-1)

Number of Cards

Basic Features

This set consists of 6 strips, each containing 10 cards. Every card has a blank back and showcases a vibrant illustration of a player, which is positioned at the top of the card. Meanwhile, the card number, player's name, position, team, and league details are printed at the bottom.

The 1923 Fleer (E241) launched its "Bobs and Fruit Hearts" candy product, although the gum was not released until 1928. These rare cards are essentially identical to the 1923 W515 strip cards, but they are machine cut and feature a printed advertisement for the candy company on the reverse side. Exercise caution, as there are many counterfeits of these sets.

To ensure you don't purchase a counterfeit piece of history, always obtain a professionally graded card from a trusted seller. Graded cards are expected to appreciate significantly in value over time.
