Some of the images are the same as these, but the cards are definitely very different from W711 and W711-2.
I thought that same thing. And I immediately went to my resources and couldn't/can't find these (above) anywhere. The description where I won them from said they were a 1941 (I think 1940) team issued set? I venture to guess they probably gave them out at the ballpark and/or you could get them mailed to you, if that is the case. Here are a few from the other Cincinnati sets, W711-1 McCormick and W711-2 Hartman, McKechnie, Hershberger and the box they were mailed in.

addendum. I went back to the description and here is what the seller said in the listing. I didn't scroll down far enough to see it. (or just missed it)-

"Sold exclusively by the team at ball parks."
