Default Hey Brad

Hey Brad

I wonder if they could be some kind of commemorative set that was put out on thin sheets and made to be cut out into individual cards? Otherwise they resemble some of the 1929 Premiums I have seen of Phili. Are those dots at the bottom of a few of them where they might have been made to cut? They aren't truly a period set as the players played in too diverse of years. Besides the other players Plank only played until 1917 and Grove started in 1925. I can't imagine a magazine or periodical picture having a blank back, maybe 1-2 but not all of them. Once again, since I don't think you will find them to be from a period when all of the players in the "set" still played I feel the value would be a bit less than otherwise. You might study the printing characteristics to better date them.
