fkwHi,
The Baby Anson card has little value in its trimmed state. It is a "Victorian Trade Card" and from a set called H804-1 Tobin Lithograph "Baby Talk" Series (1885-1890 era). There are about 8-10 different Baby cards in the set (throwing, sliding, batting, crying, etc.), with many color variations, design variations and advertisements known. I have a few of them in my collection, and have owned at least 4-5 of the "Baby Anson" cards. They are actually not that scarce, mostly found in Victorian Scrapbooks of the time (along with the "Scrapps" and "R&S Artistic Series" die cuts) In NRMT+ shape the H804-1 Baby Anson may bring $100, but most cards from the set in nice EX condition sell for $15-$40. A badly trimmed card like that would bring about $5-$10 tops. Frank
