Need help identifying minor league cards/photos
I have a thread on the memorabilia forum about a lot of minor league memorabilia which formerly belonged to Roy Mellinger who played for Cedar Rapids in the Central Association from 1914 to 1917. I thought I would put my latest post here also since there may be a lot of viewers here who can help and since this forum is for cards which might be what I have here. I'm not sure if these are baseball photos or baseball cards. They measure 3 1/2"x 2 1/2" and are about 1/16" thick. All 11 are from the 1914 Cedar Rapids,Iowa Rabbits roster. Their names are printed on the photos. Here is a list. Any thoughts on what they are or possible value? Thanks.
Curtis-3B (2 of these) Henseling-SS Mellinger-P Lingle-C (Photo below) Spencer-P Brown-P Scoring after driving ball over CF fence. Lapham-C (his name is listed "Lappin" on baseball-reference.com) Hill-MGR. Buttle-P Fulton-1B

Saying what they are is speculation. However, they appear to be professionally shot and have the player's name and position, so it's plausible they were a team issue or something like that.

never seen them?
I have never seen this type of photo-card before. Are the fronts on glossy, photograph type paper, as Fatimas are? Neat looking stuff and thanks for sharing. As a type collector I would be interested if they are ever parted with...
ps...hard to put a value on them...similar type items I have seen go for $25-$100 ea., unless there is something special about them....

Leon,
I'm not familiar with fatimas. It looks like photograph paper but not really glossy, but would there be much gloss after 95 years? Thanks for the response.

photographic paper
The Fatimas (T200, T222) were printed on photographic paper and are very glossy on front. The "cards" you show look like exactly what you described. Without anything else to go on I would concur it might have been a team offered premium set. (which is sort of like saying the sky is up .)
