That Jackie is sweet, what a deal! As far as the Paige goes, I'm going to consider it a rookie until I hear otherwise. Thanks for your help guys!

I believe these may be pages removed from a book by Powers, Baseball Personalities. The entire uncut book can acquired relatively easily. I do not currently have a copy, but you should be able to compare illustrations fairly easily.
The size, and double sided images are consistent, as is the dating.

Yep, looks like they are from that book, thanks for the research!

Here is a two sided example of Bob Feller / Jimmy Dykes

I had thought this was from an unknown set of picture-pack style cards, but have come to realize this is a cutout from the book Baseball Personalities by Jimmy Powers, 1949.

Special thanks to Net54 members for pointing this out.

I apologize in advance, I try to never get involved in controversies on here, but continued to these as a set etc when they are obtained by destroying a book, is not right. You can acquire a complete set by acquiring the book.

Thank you for pointing this out. I edited my post to identify the Feller / Dykes item as a cutout from this book.
