Help with these 1919 Reds cards - Mystery Solved - Our Boys Reds booklet
I have had these for multiple years, and not sure what they are exactly. As you can see they are messed up condition-wise (surprise!), and they remind me of the self developing photo issues like the Tattoo Orbit R308, except were probably somewhat glossy at one time.
Here are the details:
On thin photographic paper
Small amount of gloss remaining on both (the darker, more distinct areas as seen in the scan)
2" x 3" photo size
Pasted on scrapbook paper (the scrapbook paper has red outlining the photos, so the paper was probably designed to display 2 x 3 photos...is that a normal photo size?) The photos themselves are likely trimmed down, as is evidenced by the cut off facsimile autographs
Players are catcher Nick Allen and pitcher Roy Mitchell, who were both on the 1918 and 1919 Cincinnati Reds teams (Allen was also with the team in 1920)
Would love to hear your thoughts on them.
Brian
