The best I can tell you about them is they were issued Circa 1924-1925.

It's my understanding they printed on some sort of box (containing ? ?).

And, they all appear to have been hand-cut off this mysterious box.

Thanks Paul and Ted for your pics of these cards.

On the chart below I listed the players with the teams that they were on from the cards that were shown in an earlier post (post #763). The boxes that are marked with an "X" show what years that each player played for that particular team. I only showed 1925-39. Before and after that range is unnecessary. 1933 is the only year where every player played for the team that is shown on each of their cards. Therefore, unless these cards were issued over multiple years, I think 1933 is likely the year of this issue. I suppose 1934 could also be considered if this issue was based from the previous 1933 season. Although ... Al Simmons is listed as Chicago White Sox but his hat shows Philadelphia Athletics (played 1924-32). Hack Wilson is listed as Brooklyn Dodgers but his hat looks like Chicago Cubs (played 1926-31).
