Really hard to tell without having them in hand. They do have to look of newspaper artist renditions and my first inclination is a Frankenstein-card that someone made.

All that being said the subject selection defies all logic. Short of finding some reason a set would include a Rafael Almeida card along with a card of Al Simmons I have no reason to believe these were a vintage effort. Simmons was largely a late 1920’s-1930’s star which would not correlate with anything Almeida was doing at the time. Unlike Marsans, Almeida did continue having a career in baseball but that almost entirely consisted of playing outside the United States after the mid-1910’s.

Street and Robinson were managers as was noted but until Street was given a shot in the late 1920’s into the 1930’s he was mostly a minor league manager/coach. Thus a circa 1930 or so date would make sense for 3 of the subjects, the Almeida just doesn’t feel right.
