Rhett,
This looks like a nice piece. There is a good chance they held
the multi-subject/multisport YumYum cards from 1892/1893. See the non-sports series N398, N472, N488. In the N398 series I was fortunate enough to pickup from a guy who was an acquaintance of EC Warton-Tiger a copy of one of the 10 known sport scenes. There was also a golfer in the same auction. It was paper thin and seems like a natural to have been inserted in this type of pack. I think its one of the first football cards issued. Hope this helps. See Leon man does not live by baseball cards alone !!
