Need help in identifying a type card
 
2 Attachment(s)
Does anybody know what these are? I picked them up from eBay recently. They were listed as circa 1926 W-UNC cards. I have never seen them before. They are definitely hand cut and similar to Four-On-One Exhibit panels, although different from the 1925-1931 set, which is the only one that would fit the players/teams shown. They measure 1-3/8" by 2-3/8". Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

There seems to be a green version of a similar Ty Cobb card in post #114 in this thread.

Thanks, Jeff! That certainly does appear to be the same type. That gives me another clue at least.

Marc, these two cards would have cost you more (I was an underbidder on each) if I didn't already have a WaJo card that is just like these. There was a thread about them a few months ago that I started in order to find out what they were for a local collecting friend who owned the ones you just won on eBay - here's the link to this thread: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=193462
BTW, my friend acquired these two from Bill Huggins (of Huggins & Scott Auctions) last year and then sold them to a dealer at the Chantilly, VA, Show in October 2014. I could have purchased them at that time, but my friend was looking to get much more for them than they sold for on eBay - FWIIW, I think you got them at a good price.

Thanks Val...I missed that earlier thread, but that definitely does shed some more light on these. I put in some pretty strong bids on these just because I had never seen them before and now I'm even more glad I won them! Thanks again for the info.

Yup those are the strip cards alright.

For those of you keeping score at home, of the ten ballplayers known on Exhibit cards, we can now confirm strip versions of five:
