PostWarCards on Nostr: The awesome thing about flipping through old catalogs is running across random cards ...
The awesome thing about flipping through old catalogs is running across random cards and sets that pique your curiosity and make you learn more about the hobby; that's precisely what happened when I saw this 1921 W551 Babe Ruth/Ty Cobb Strip in Mastro's August 2006 catalog.
Turns out it took until pretty recently for the card market to come to consensus and call these cards a 1922 set and I learned that 9/10 baseball player strip card poses are the same between W551 and W514.
