Default 1926 Unc issue (Negro League)

I've seen these two cards (postcards?) from this uncatalogued issue depicting players from the 1926 St. Louis Stars of the Negro National League, Carl Glass and Hall of Famer Willie Wells. Does anyone here know anything more about this issue? Have any of you seen another card from the set? The debris on the ground suggests the two images were shot within a few minutes of each other, and it seems likely the photographer would have gotten everyone or nearly everyone on the team (which would include Cool Papa Bell), but I haven't located any other images.

Not of interest for baseball card reasons, but I also just noticed that whoever wrote the captions uses a different shape for S at the beginning of a word and S at the end of a word, reminiscent of the usage of the sigma in Greek.
