In our recent contest, there was a question where we were asked if we could have any card before 1948, what would it be?
I chose a 1921 Miller Huggins card. I picked this card because Huggins was the manager of the Yankees on the first World Series championship team. I thought it was pretty unique and would be a nice addition to my collection.
Today I opened my mailbox and saw a little tiny envelope. I hoped it wasn't a chain letter.
Instead it was this from Matt at Number 5 Type collection.
I'll never be able to find something as cool as this to send back to you.
Very nice card. Matt is a generous blogger. After a bit of research I think that the card is a W514 strip card. Is that correct?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's what the card is. I didn't realize I didn't include it in the blog post.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Hey, glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteWasn't so much about cost, as that set's pretty affordable--just knowing right where to look. Thanks for running an entertaining blog, even when the Yankees win more than I'd prefer. :-)
This excellent gallery shows the complete 115-card W514 set, if you want to see all the NYY players.

That is a nice card, there are some cool cards in that set. The Dode Paskert card makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteOh, very nice card - it's a w514 strip, type card, hand cut.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love vintage stuff so it's always fun to see that!
Those lips are really really red. Very cool of Matt.
