Default SOT and suggestion for summer reading / Nonsports collectors please help

Do any cards exist of Eko and Iko, George and Willie Muse who were circus attractions performing under a number of names such as the Ambassadors from Mars and the Sheepheaded Cannibals.

The are the subject of and interesting book, Truevine by Beth Macy, which I would recommend as a summer read. The two albino African American boys were kidnapped and it is the story of the family trying to get them back and race relations in general. Beth is a talented writer (Factory man) and I have found this to be pretty through provoking.

I know the brothers had several souvenir pictures distributed, but they preformed globally and I was curios if they ever appeared on a tobacco or gum card.

Mods, feel free to move this if you wish, but I figured I could get more eyeballs on it posting here.
