ID Help -Tris Speaker, The Daily Historic

[D. Bergin]

I'd wager within the past 5 years fantasy issue. I've been seeing more and more of these in different styles lately, but always with that older newspaper tone look to them.

I have a little info. I just purchased a small group of these to fill in players or execs that either don't have cards or are rare/expensive. The size is 2 3/8" H x 1 1/2" W. It's a thin stock with a semi-gloss surface. I would compare it to a playing card in feel and look. I emailed the guy on ebay about the players I needed and he cut a deal off his price. They cost about $4 ea. but were well worth it to fill those impossible holes in my HOF collection. They are definitely NOT standard issue cards, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he made them himself. I attached a front and back scan of the Frank Grant card. All the backs look like that. He also has 2 other designs, one that says Flip Trade Collect on the front (like a T206 size) and an anti-tobbaco back advertisement. All players were not available in all the types. His name is Jeff and goes by oak-vault on ebay. Take it for what it's worth.

Thanks for the info quinnsryche. I did finally get a response from the seller, and this is what he said;

It's from the Daily Historic set. Newer card. Ornate black design on back, no text. Card stock, much thicker than paper. Neat collectible.

Thanks for showing the back also. There was a Staubach card listed a couple weeks ago, and that's what caught my eye first. I posted it in the football section of this forum but got no responses.
