1919-21 W514 Ivan Olson #70 Hand Cut Strip Card Brooklyn Robins. This original hand-cut strip card is a vintage piece from the Major Leagues era before World War II.

The W514 strip card set is one of the more significant such issues. It includes almost all of the banned members of the 1919 Chicago Black Sox team, including would-be Hall of Famer Joe Jackson. This remains one of the most popular strip issues. Simply put, it is the definitive strip card set in the pre-war era.

Unlike some other strip card sets, this is solely a baseball issue. It is completely packed with big names and Hall of Famers. Leading the way is the aforementioned Jackson, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson.

The cards are a pretty typical strip release. Hand cut, these will usually be found with some sort of uneven edges. The fronts feature a color cartoon image of a certain player and his name, position, and team are printed in the bottom border. In addition, a tiny card number is printed on the front of the player’s card.
