OK, that's from the set of 5, which are the most common. All of the baseball-themed brownie trade cards are stock cards, meaning they were used by many different advertisers, who would imprint their name on the front or back of the card. Custom cards were made for just one advertiser, and generally had the company name integrated with the image somehow.

You might want to e-mail Diana Scheiber and get Ron's list of baseball trade cards. I think it costs $30, but it's worth it, with lots of color illustrations.

Pretty much what I figured, just a cool bonus that it was used for something baseball related!

Trade cards can be fun to collect. I picked this up recently just because I liked it. It is approximately 2 1/2 x 4 inches with a blank back. Lots of good info above on where to learn more about them.

It looks like that site covers almost all of the baseball trade cards. Thought you'd like it.

I have three sets of Tobin baseball trade cards. Two sets are quite well known, the third is not. Each of the first two sets have ten cards, but I have only found nine for the third set. Have any of you gentlemen, with your vast experience, ever seen a tenth card for my third set.
