1919–21 W514 Strip Cards

Crudely drawn, blank-backed cards sold in strips at candy, grocery and drug stores and cut apart by hand, which is why no two have the same edges. At 120 cards, W514 is the largest and best-known strip set, and its 1919–21 issue dates line up exactly with the Black Sox scandal. It includes seven of the eight banned White Sox (all but Fred McMullin) plus manager Kid Gleason, and for players like Swede Risberg and Lefty Williams it is one of very few cards made during their careers.
