Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I know we have discussed these before but I am doing a little more research on them. Can anyone give me anything they know on these or how many you have? I might have some news on them soon....best regards (it's the 2 of them that have the little red borders around them. Hornsby and Mack)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1181769475.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>Leon,<br /><br />Eric bought a lot of 7 of these a few years ago. Not sure which players, but he kept the Walter Johnson, gave me the Dressen, and sold off the others. A couple went to Frank Ward - didn't you end up with those? <br /><br />Last year an auction house was selling a calendar with similar images on the sides of it. Figure these were just cut from a calendar.<br /><br />Here's Eric's, along with some other nice cards: <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/goudeyhunter/uncatalogedcards.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.freewebs.com/goudeyhunter/uncatalogedcards.htm</a><br /><br />The Dressen:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1181769996.GIF">

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Thanks...I will dispel the calendar myth in the next week or so (although there could have been managers on a calendar this isn't where these cards came from).....plus from what I heard the calendar was from the early 20's? All of these were managers in 1935.....I believe....at any rate I believe I will have some definitive proof in the near future of what these really are.....stay tuned...you heard it here first <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>....

Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>Why do these remind me of matchbook covers?<br /><br />Joshua

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Is it just me, or is the photo in each one of these cards at a slight angle compared to the orange border?

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>They weren't from match covers....and yes, the printing was a little wavy on the borders....

Posted By: <b>Jim Clarke</b><p>They are cut outs from a game box. Don't take that to the bank though...
