Posted By: <b>jamie</b><p>Both have "International News Photo" markings. They're blank-backed and on thicker type paper. Both slightly smaller than 8x10. <br /><img src="http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/wassermj/misc/cooper.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/wassermj/misc/2.jpg"><br /><br />Other players I have from this issue include: Less Fleming, Bob feller, Rip Sewell, Hank Greenberg, Eddie Stanky, Phil Cavaretta, Whitey Kurowski, Dixie Walker, Ted Lyons (in both versions), Marty Marion, and Walker Cooper. <br /><br />I thought the Nationality identification on the slightly larger card was kind of interesting.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>I don't know, but the International News Photo (famous photo and news service) would be <br />the supplier of the player image, and probably not the issuer of the card or whatever<br />it is. Of note, International News Photos changed their name in the 1950s, so, unless<br />they are reprints, the items would have to be 1950s or earlier.

Posted By: <b>Lyman</b><p>Jamie, the set was issued in the late 1940's by the Sports Exchange Trading Post hobby magazine. They were issued in 12 series. Your Cooper is from Series 1 and your Lyons (trimmed down to the frame line) is from Series 5. They are designated as set W603 in the American Card Catalog. <br /><br />A gallery for the complete set can be found on the Old Cardboard website at <a href="http://www.oldcardboard.com/w/w603/w603.asp?cardsetID=844" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldcardboard.com/w/w603/w603.asp?cardsetID=844</a>.
