these have been brought up before, but my computer is slow and I cant search for the info right now ;(

there are actually 2 types of these noncaption cards.... the "square portrait 6 image" type like the first post and also a "rectangular action 4 image" type like the boxing one Adam shows (baseball ones exist too).

I have scans of the "rectangular 4 action image" type with Ruth Johnson Coveleski and another player ...........I cant load it right now though

I have seen both types a few times in the past.

Universal Toy and Novelty Co. actually made 4 types of baseball cards, the well known W504, and also the crude hand drawn playing card type (black and red print) from the late 1920s (see example below), plus these 2 in this thread.

(Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig (Leon has one ), Shanty Hogan, Doug McWeeny, Jim Elliot (Elliot has the Universal Toy and Nov emblem on the card)
