Can someone tell the value of these 2 trade cards? The cards aren't glued onto the paper. TIA

I've had some of these cards. Not really expensive or rare. About $10-25 I would say.

They are blank backed. Is that normal for these? TIA

Here is one of mine for comparison. The borders on the card on the right are non-existent and those on the card on the left appear trimmed. I'm completely out of touch on current prices on these but I paid under $75 for five of them in 1997. Whatever current values are, the trimming will have an effect. I personally haven't seen them with blank backs.

Joe's estimate range is about right. These are among the more common trade cards. The borders of the one on the right are trimmed, making it worth much less. There are variations to this series that have tinted backgrounds (blues, yellows, pinks) that are valued somewhat higher. --Lyman
