Okay, I'm wading in here with little to no knowledge. The back of my card says "Made In New Orleans" and "Baseball Players Southern Association First Series 1 To 75 Factory No. 3, Dist of La." There is no mention whatsoever of New York on the card, however, according to what little I can find on line, there are only a couple of packs that have ever come to light, and they show "Universal Tobacco Company" and New York. Here is a link to an auction from some time ago:

Also, here are crappy photos of my lone Red Sun card of Babb. The green border is cracking and chipped off in several areas, worst upper right corner, and is no doubt trimmed but otherwise is decent. And a comparison better quality Red Sun back.

Edit: I am probably wrong, but I think the New Orleans Red Sun and the New York Red Sun are two different entities. Why, indeed, would someone outside the Southern Association region give a hoot about these teams?
