Default Wagner McGraw Postcard Cobb Cigarette Cards???

I have come across 2 old looking postcards that are slightly smaller than a standard modern post card. One is of Honus Wagner and the other of John McGraw. Both are in uniform and in a large stadium I can't identify. The Ty Cobb has largely printed script saying "Cobb' and is glued to poster board and I cannot see the back. Does anyone recognize these cards? I appreciate any help .I can't get the pictures up but will email them if requested. thanks Tom Sims

Hi-
I am not an expert, so hopefully others will correct me when I am wrong, but I believe these are from the late 1960s/70s at the earliest. The first two images remind me of the Bert Sugar post cards from the 1970s that had really cool seldom seen images of WWI era players. I apologize if I am wrong but that is my opinion on these items.

The AZO postcard stock dates them to 1907 to 1918.

Those look legit to me. Early 1900s real photo postcards. Likely one of a kind, taken by a fan who had them printed with a postcard back. Let the PM's fly.

edited to add: The Cobb looks like a snapshot photo glued to a board.

Hi-
I do apologize for being wrong above, but the first two images do really look like the Sugar post cards I mentioned. Did they all come together? Assuming they did, congratulations on the find!
