Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>The big one is a Victorian Trade Card from the 1880-90 era. It is called #206 in the Frank Keetz "Baseball Advertising Trade Card" book. It is worth/sells for about $20-$30. Ive owned about 4 of that exact card, it is not rare but not common as far as trade cards go.<br /><br />The smaller one is from 1900-1910 era I believe and is from England If Im not mistaken. cant tell you an exact value but roughly in the $20 range is my guess.
