C. 1915-19 unknown strip card issue featuring a panel of 6 players. 3 were identifiable right off the bat as Babe Ruth(pitching in Red Sox uniform), Eddie Collins, Edd Roush, and Rabbit Maranville. Through checking photos and talking with advanced collectors we believe the other 2 to be Tris Speaker and Eddie Cicotte. Images and color are still good. Panel stock is thicker than the usual strip card issue. Overall size of the piece is 2 7/16" by 4 9/16" with the individual images being 1 1/4" by 1 1/2". A thin white border can be seen along the top and right edge with none on the other two sides. Panel is crease free but does have one small tear at upper right edge. Some mold/mildew staining to upper left corner on front with very small loss of surface paper. Back has some mold/mildew staining at lower right corner. Some silver fish damage to the surface layer at several places on the blank back. Despite the flaws, still a beautiful and very rare item!
