1-3/8x2.25". The 1923 W515-1 "strip card set" consists of 60 individual cards. Each blank-backed card depicts a colorful drawing of a player taken from an Underwood & Underwood wire photograph and prominently displays the copyright symbol and "U & U" at the bottom left. The image is centered near the top of the card while the card number, player's name, position, team and league are printed across the bottom.
