Help with card ID for COMC Unknowns

[DaClyde]

The folks at COMC have really been plowing through their error reports lately, and I've managed to help them whittle the remaining baseball cards with no set identification down to just 15. These are cards that are still listed as "2015 [???] [???]". Can anyone tell me what set these are from, and hopefully with a year?

1. 2015 [???] [???] #FRHO - Frank Howard


2. 2015 [???] [???] #PAKE - Pat Kelly


3. 1931 Blue Ribbon Malt [Thank you, Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards.]

4. 1964 Rawlings Glove Box - Dick Groat [Good*to*VG‑EX] - [Thank you, Cliff.]

5. 196? Wilson Star Gloveman Series box #N/A - Don Hoak [Good*to*VG‑EX] - [Thank you, Cliff.]

6. 196? Wilson Star Gloveman Series box #N/A - Harvey Kuenn [Good*to*VG‑EX] - [Thank you, Cliff.]

7. & 8 - 1968 Fleer Baseball Emblem Trio Cloth Patches - [Thank you, Al.]

7 & 8 are Fleer "Trio" cloth patches which were likely inserts in 68 or 69 packs of Fleer Baseball Emblems. I do not know of a checklist , but I have 24 different combos

#4 is a "card" cut off of a 1964 Rawlings Glove box.

#1 is from a early to mid sixties team issued stadium photo pack, and is not from Jay's Publishing. #2 is undoubtedly from an early seventies team issued stadium photo pack.

#5 Don Hoak and #6 Harvey Kuenn were both paid endorsers of Wilson gloves and these look like they were cut off of a box, so I'm guessing it is something similar to the Dick Groat.

Thank you, gentlemen! By the end of the day, they should be down to about 9 or 10 left to identify.

They look like this Musial. I know that this was given away by the ticket counter in STL. It's my Dads from a game he went to. The ticket person asked him if he was a Stan Musial fan and gave him one with his ticket. Those should open up. I always thought that it was like a place to keep your ticket stub safe

PS: this was given out in '59 so it falls in the same time frame as the Hoak and Kuenn.

The last one looks like one of those Seattle Rainier popcorn cards from the 50s.

Here are more detailed photos of the front and back of the Harvey Kuenn and Don Hoak "cards", they were obviously cut off a cardboard box.

I think #1 could be a 1961 Wilson Meats, but I'm not sure.

Very close. It is the same image, with slightly different cropping, but the only image I've seen of the Wilson Meats card has "Courtesy of Wilson Meats" at the bottom.

Going by the players in their uniforms on the box, it is probably 1961. Kuenn's first year with the Giants and Piersall's last year with the Indians were both 1961.

I would say the cards from the box are just pictures, not intended to be cut into cards. I would say that COMC should return them to the owner, and not allow them to be listed for sale.

Although some things were clearly not meant to be made into "cards", that is a popular subset of collecting. I think as long as it is clear what they are and where they come from, no reason not to list them for sale. Someone will want them (for the right price).
