W520 Strip Card Set

Keys For Collectors

Anonymous strip card issue identical to (aside from numbering) the W522 Strip Card issue.
The set features 20 color cards (numbered 1-20), with blank banks and a number on the front of the card
Cards either feature a color portrait or an action shot with a solid color background
While grading companies classify this as a 1920 issue, some speculate that it may have been issued in 1921
Set includes cards of Babe Ruth, Tris Speaker, Christy Mathewson, George Kelly; notably Zach Wheat and Mike Gonzalez have two cards in the set.
PSA has graded a near equal amount of cards across the W520 and W522 sets; less than 100 for each.
The Babe Ruth card in the set is by far the most valuable: PSA has graded 19 copies, so the card is available, but still relatively scarce. Lower grade copies sell for over $3000.
