This roject has led me down an oddball baseball card set wormhole that has been rather enlightening. There must be hundreds of baseball card sets from the 1970s/early-1980s that are one-offs -- regional, local, businesses, card shows, non-profits, organizations, you name it. There's no end to them. Many of them depict players from the past, be it greats of the local team or all-timers.
Very rarely do they have blank backs. If they do, they're usually marked on the front with identifiers for who and why they were produced. I'm guessing by your post that these cards are blank-backed. Judging from the quality of the images and the type font (and the lack of promotional material) I'd bet these are not Renata Galasso. She was a great showlady and knew how to market her business.
Perhaps we'll be able to find a common thread amongst the players and that will help narrow down the possibilities.

They are blank backed and look inferior to RGI and TCMA. I can’t think of the name of the guy that made the collectors series of the tobacco and caramel cards in the late ‘60s. I think he was from Michigan or Wisconsin but I could be way off.
