Hi again, everyone. It's been a few years, here's my post on the status update for these awesome cards:

Old thread from 2019 below....
It took me awhile to find you guys, but this seems like the best spot to ask.
In their "
Ultra-Rare 1921 E121 Herpolsheimer Fred Toney sale" Love of the Game Auctions says:

"The most difficult, however, are the cards advertising the Herpolsheimer's Boys Fashion Shop. The reason for this is that just 69 or 70 cards from the issue are known to exist, no more than one example of each subject."

Well... here's 39 more that are now "known".
The cards have lived in a metal Band-Aid box probably since the mid 1930s.
Planning to grade and sell them soon but trying to get an idea of what you guys think the Babe Ruth may be worth.
I've searched everywhere, but I've never seen a Herpolsheimer backed Babe Ruth before. 1 of 1?
