Description: 1919-1921 W514 - #96 Fred Mitchell, Chicago Cubs - SGC 2.5 - RareOn the Player - Frederick Francis Mitchell (1878-1970): Fred Mitchell was an MLB right-handed pitcher, catcher, first baseman and manager. As a player, Mitchell pitched for the Boston Red Sox (1901-1902), Philadelphia Athletics (1902), Philadelphia Phillies (1903-1904), and Brooklyn Superbas (1904-1905). Later Mitchell returned to the major leagues as a catcher for the New York Highlanders in 1910, playing also for the Boston Braves in 1913. As a manager, Mitchell worked for the Chicago Cubs (1917–1920), and Boston Braves (1921–1923).On the Card - Due to the poor quality paper used in producing strip cards, and on the process of ripping or cutting the cards from larger strips, these cards graded above "Authentic" are rare. SGC has only assigned 8 Fred Mitchell cards a numeric grade, with only three cards graded higher than this 2.5.On the Set - 1919 W514 - One hundred years ago, retailers such as grocery or candy stores had baseball sports cards available in strips for customers to buy, or to give away with purchases to loyal customers. As these “strip” cards often came in a long strip where merchants could cut or rip off a certain amount for customers, rough or uneven edges, and inconsistent card sizes were the norm. They are classified in the American Card Catalog as W-Cards. Of all strip cards, possibly the most popular strip set is the 1919-1921 W514 set. The W514 set is comprised of 120 cards measuring approximately 1-7/16" x 2-1/2". The card fronts portray a color drawing of each baseball player, with a color background and a thin black line surrounding the picture. The player’s name, team, and position are identified at the bottom of the card. Each card number is in small script within the frame, bottom right or left. Card backs are usually blank. Player drawings generally were modeled after photographs taken by famous photographer Charles Martin Conlon (1868-1945). Among thousands of photos, Conlon’s most famous photograph is of Ty Cobb stealing third base, sliding into a waiting Jimmy Austin.
