In regards to the ones I posted, they are about the thickness of a T3, medium card stock, not as thick as a W600, but thicker than a T206 or post card, bit of a gray hue, the fronts are clay coated paper it appears.
All but two are Horner photos as you see, I never caught the two different Pittsburg/h spellings. I suppose they could have been made at a later date, but I doubt it, they pretty much are the core of the '09 team , why would you commemorate them years later? Some of the backs have marks from contents it kind of looks like. I suppose it's also possible they were cut apart from an ad of some type, but if they did they further cut them down as none of the sides match up. Also you will see that two have a hint of red/orange border to them as well.
These were originally sold in an Auction back east circa 2002 or so. I have asked many hobby vets about them and each has never seen anything like them.
