Can someone identify this for me?
 

Can someone please tell me what year/brand this is?

And if its real? The back is blank

It's one player from a late 1920's or 1930's Four-on-One exhibit...

Here's an example of a full card...

How big were those cards? 4 of these together would be pretty big!

They're postcards.

The four-on-ones measure 3 3/8 by 5 3/8.

That explains it... thank you!

Cy Williams was in the 1929-30 set. Since he never played after 1930, it's likely your card is part of that set ...

Odd, his only card is the 1929-30 exhibit but it should have part of a postcard on the back.

Here is a scan of the front and back of one of my 1929-30 Four-On-One exhibits. You can see what Scott is talking about. If cut into four pieces, only one of the players would have a blank back. Also notice the color of the back of the card. It should be tan/brown. What is the color of the back of your card? Is it white? If so, it was probably a fake/counterfeit/reprint 1970's exhibit card. If your card was indeed cut from a 1929-30 four-on-one, then it is probably worth $5 on a good day. If it was cut from a fake 1970's card, then it would essentially be worthless.

I had a chance this morning to look at a few of my 1929-30 four-on-one exhibits... Based on the picture that Scott posted above, Cy Williams is in the top left corner of the card. Of the four players on the card, it is the player in the top left corner that would have the blank back. So, it is possible that your card is a legitimate 1929-30 four-on-one cut. However, as I said above, you have to check the back of the card to confirm that the color is correct (tan/brown, not glossy white or gray). If you have any questions about the back, please post a back scan.
