Strip cards were issued in the 1920s as a cheap collectible for kids. Issued in strips of 10 or so or sheets of up to 25 cards, they were meant to be cut apart by the kiddies and played with. Since they are usually on cheap paper stock and were toys, they are typically found in rotten condiion. The low quality of the product also leads to many variations and errors in the finished cards.
What is below is a gallery of various strip card types.
