Default Info sought on Tobin trade cards

I'm not a 19th-century collector, and I have no interest in trade cards, so the count already was 0-2 when I stumbled across these. I do know that some Tobins depict actual players and have more value. These obviously don't fit into that group.

The numbers in the lower-left corner are what made me wonder whether these are part of a specific series. I did searches of auction houses' archives and came up empty regarding these images.

For those of you who collect or are familiar with these, do they fall in the generic category, and therefore have minimal value? These are part of a collection I'm selling for a friend, which is why I even have them.

These measure 2 5/8 by 4 1/8 inches, excluding the one that is trimmed. Paper stock is just a tad lighter than a T206.

Thanks, Rob
