Need any info on these cards. Year, checklist, values, factory number if any, where they were made, etc.

And those of us who have never heard of 'em need a scan.

Do you mean Ogden's Guinea Gold? These are the only ones I know of with Guinea Gold in the title. I know both Phillips and Ogden's are British issues so maybe you were confused. The Ogden's were issued between 1899-1902 approximately. There are many different subject's included. The most valuable being the golfers from the set, Tom Morris, etc.. I have a bunch but still don't know how to post pictures. They are black and subject to chipping etc.. Search ebay and you will no doubt find some.

Or are there any baseball ones? The card I have is Huntley Wright. No idea who he was.

I don't think so Richard. Maybe it's a Cricket player. Post a pic.

Should've known better. Dumbass Alan Hagar's book (Comprehensive guide to rare baseball cards 1886 to present) shows the card on page 142. But there's no mention of that series in his book. It shows a Phillips Guinea pack and that card. The page also has other T206 boxes, Mecca, & Allen & Ginter boxes on the same page. I'm starting to doubt that my card is baseball related.
