As confirmation on my earlier opinion, I checked and the Old Judge Burdock and the T206 Cobb Bat Off are copied from the Library of Congress site.

One thing to point out is that the Burdock has white areas on the edge inconsistant with the genuine card. This effect will happen when reprinted fronts and backs on paper are pasted to cardstock (known as the Oreo cookie effect)or where a modern white stock reprint is artificially aged accidentally leaving unstained areas,usually on the edge (thickness) of the card. These are common signs of counterfeiting for the T206, 33 Goudey and many 1950s Topps and Bowman cards.
