Sounds good to me. As noted above, my best guess is that they are from the 1920s, cut out from newsprint or poster stock and glued to cardboard. They're certainly not real Old Judges or any other 19th century cards. I doubt that the person who made them (possibly many decades ago) had any intention to deceive anybody; they just had these images that looked like old-time baseball cards, and they made their own "cards" out of the images.
