Cards or Not? 1922 Sioux Falls Press

[Archive]

Posted By: Rhys Y.

The other thread about Rinky Dink Stamps made me remember this set of "Cards" that I have had for a little while now. They have the following attributes that would make it seem to be a card set

They were issued in a numbered set of 72 (of which I have between 50-60).

They each have a image of a named Baseball Player or action scene (some are similar to R337 in their "instruction images")

They were issued with the intention of being cut out and saved, it says so right at the top of each one.

They are dated 1922 on each one and the method of distribution was a one per day sort of "premium" in the newspaper.

In my opinion these fit the absolute definition of a baseball card. I am curious to know if anyone here has ever seen or heard of this issue or what other people think about whether or not these would constitute "cards" and should be cataloged or not.

The players pictured are (L to R) GC Alexander, Heinie Groh, and Babe Ruth

Thanks in advance for the input.
