It is cool but common. They came in full decks (per player) and there is a Ty Cobb and a few other baseball players. They are worth around 1.00 each but they are still cool. They are from the early 1950s.

Also cool is that living players (at time they were released) were depicted as part of the scene, such as seen with Ty Cobb. Players that had passed away (like Gehrig and Ruth) are seen as looming spirits of baseball good will.

Brown & Bigelow 1953 and blank ones (no advertising) seem to be a little more desirable. I've seen gas stations, hardware stores and news stands so these were basically trade cards that were sold to businesses to use as advertising. I imagine the original printer also did the customization for people. In addition to the players listed above Connie Mack was also a subject.
PSA does grade them but they're fairly easy to get high grades on like most playing cards. https://thecollectorconnection.com/b...e?itemid=10313

Card
Series included full decks of Ruth, Cobb, Gehrig, maybe a few others ….. all with ghostly background images encouraging youth…. the Cobb is of a living Cobb as he wasn’t a ghost yet!! By the way, I think they usually sell for more like $5-10 a card or more…. but they are pretty common.
