Are there cards of these guys out there? I know there are some exhibits and strip cards of Mays. Anything more mainstream? Anything at all on Chapman?

The Sporting News series of cards have plenty of Chapman's:

M101-2
M101-4
M101-5
M101-6

Then there are the felt issues:

BF2
B18

There's probably more but the Sporting News issues would be your best bet. The cards are nice B/W photos. Although the books don't show much of a premium on his cards an auction will indicate differently.

The E120 American Caramel set, both E121 American Caramel sets, and the E210 set (along with the associated issues such as Yeunglings, etc.) have Carl Mays cards.

This is a little off topic, but when I was in 6th grade my teacher informed our class that her maiden name was Chapman, and that her grandfather was the only major leaguer killed during a baseball game. I didn't think too much about it at the time, but I wished I had asked her if she had any of his autographs, they would be worth well into the thousands for a cut signature. In 15 years of collecting obscure player autographs I have never even heard of an authentic Chapman signature.

I decent condition Collins McCarthy or Sporting News will set you back $200 of Chapman. Mays has a ton of cards and your best bets for a cheap example which looks really nice are the 1921 and 1922 exhibit cards. I bought one on ebay last year for about $15

Here is a neat book that I've had since it was published in 1972.

FYI, I listed on ebay today perhaps the rarest Carl Mays card of them all: a 1924 Cuban Diaz Cigarettes card.
