These were copied from the WG1 set.

I'm too lazy to exercise...

I'm too lazy to google so I can compare the two sets, too.

But I'm enjoying that last sentence very much.

A most astute observation, buchner -- brilliant, even, and we're ashamed we didn't recognize it ourselves.
Best matches we can make from 1888's Base Ball Playing Cards (anyone's welcome, of course,
to suggest better matches from that set):

Oh, and full marks to Old Cardboard [ http://www.oldcardboard.com/wg/wg1/w...?cardsetID=946 ]
for being the source of most of those card images (no need to Google with Old Cardboard right there)...

With thanks due to both Buchner and Butch7999, now the question remaining is, are there cards in that set that match the artwork the OP originally asked about?

Nice to see you posting Buchner and bringing the wisdom of many years :-) Drop me a line sometime.....

I tried to not be lazy, and searched quite a bit. But to no avail... cannot find either general images or specific player images that match those two specific poses.

This place never ceases to amaze me. Amazing stuff with the WG1's, had nobody made that connection before? Good luck Glenn if anybody is going to find answers, they're probably here!
