Default 1903 Schedules - Cubs, Beaneaters, Reds, Tigers

1903 Cubs, Beaneaters, Reds, Tigers, Birmingham Barons & Montgomery Black Sox Baseball Schedules printed on Bicycle Playing Cards

I have never been able to find another example of these. Picked these up in a Cincinnati yard sale a dozen or so years ago. Bicycle Playing Cards were printed in Norwood, OH (Cincinnati). I am thinking these are experimental, since some were printed on the wrong side. If they are experimental, what value might they have. I have seen very few baseball schedules that pre-date these, other than the back of tickets and in newspapers.

Looking at the condition / team schedule and playing card styles I am fairly sure these are from around the printed 1903 date.

Team / Type of Playing card style (http://www.jimknapp.com/Cards/Bicycle.htm)
1) Chicago Cubs: Sprocket No. 1 Introduced in 1899. (Red and blue.)
2) Birmingham Barons: Class A > Southern Association. Pedal 1899-1917. (Red and blue.)
3) Boston Beaneaters: Cupid 1894-1943 (Red, blue, green, and brown.)
4) Cincinnati Reds: Rider 1887-Present (Red, blue, green, and brown.) The back design is probably the most recognizable in the world, having been in constant production since 1887. They were originally produced in red, blue, green, and brown, but the green and brown decks were dropped in 1927.
5) Montgomery Black Sox: Class A > Southern Association. Sprocket No. 1 Introduced in 1899. (Red and blue.)
6) Detroit Tigers: Lantern No. 1 Introduced in 1898. (Red and blue.)

1903 was the second year of the Class A Southern Association, which ended in 1935.

Montgomery Black Sox: http://www.southernassociationbaseba...montgomery.php

Any thoughts?

They are neat and probably have some value to schedule collectors. Without having a baseball player on them I would think they are a bit less desirable than if they did. I don't think I have seen those types before. I doubt they have a lot of value but probably a little.
