Mystery Card Lot Picked Up At Local Auction
 
Anyone have an idea what these cards are? Picked up a lot of 26 different at a local estate auction today. They are green bordered...at first I thought hand cut, but they are all the exact same size so if they are hand cut someone did a pro job of cutting them. They measures 2 1/2" x 3". Thanks for any info.

1947 We Sports Exchange Miniatures - green border version
 
I think. Take a look at the old card board link

Those look very much like 1947 Sports Exchange Baseball Miniatures.

Yep, they are W602's. The green border set originally contained 36 cards including Gehrig, DiMaggio and Musial. Among the more popular cards in that particular subset is the Kiner and Musial cards as they are pretty early cards of those HOFers (at least to the "Rookie Card" collectors)

Thanks guys!!! There is a Kiner, but no musial, No Joe D, and no Gehrig. Good to know it's an earlier issue and not something made recently.
