Uncatalogued Strip Cards?
Does anyone recognize these cards at all or have ever seen anything like them? These were found in one of the baseball memorabilia boxes from the Richard Merkin Collection here at Hake's. They are printed on a thicker cardboard stock similar to candy boxes of the era and measure approximately 1-7/8"X1". Two of the players' U.S. careers ended in the early 1910's (Almeida & Street) and the other two (Simmons & Robinson) ran through the 1920's, seems odd to have players from two different era's in what appears to be the same card issue.
Any thoughts and/or opinions from board members would be most appreciated.
