Not sure but weren't these produced in the 70's, a guy claims they were from his "grandfather" and are at least 90 years old. Can't find them in the catalog to show him when they were made. Any help would be appreciated.

They are a circa 1919 White Sox team issue that has been reprinted a bunch. The ones shown are reprints. There is one known set and it is in tact. The only thing that is 90 yrs old about those is the story the seller is using.

Edited to add that I think the reprints (the sort of official unofficial ones) were made later than the 70's. I am not sure but I think more like the 80's or even early 90's....

Only thing missing is a Barber quarter to put in the photo with them...

I just bought a mint set of these cards on ebay for about $4.
They are reprints.

Beat-up reprints sell for more.
