Default 1914-1915 Basketball Stamps

Hi-
I acquired these at an ephemera show several months ago and I finally got around to posting them! As you can see, there is one stamp titled "Basketball Champions of Iowa 1914 Grinnell College Grinnell Iowa". The other two are still connected and the top one reads "1914-15 Basket Ball Team Christian Brothers College St Louis Missouri". The bottom one pictures the "Arcadians-One of the C.B.C. Junior Teams Christian Brothers College St Louis Missouri".

Has anyone ever seen these before? Are there more to the set? I purchased these from a dealer who specializes in poster stamps (the Youth Companion Ruth/Marquard stamp is considered a poster stamp like these are) and he had not seen any others for basketball. I believe he had sold one or two baseball and football ones before I got to the show (I would have gladly bought them as well). Any information regarding these would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Alan Elefson
