T204 Set of Photographed Cards

[sb1]

Many years ago I posted about these with very little info before or since. T204 mini cards which are glossy photographs on blank back photo stock. Someone took the time to photograph a real set of T204's and then cut them up to make sets. They are smaller than normal 1 5/8" x 2".

I have a near set of these and a partial set of dupes which came from two different sources, one of which was put together in the early 1960's or before.

I am guessing one of old hobbyist did this and might have even offered them for sale??

Anyone ever seen them or know anything about them.

I walked into a card shop many years ago and they had one of those mini Cracker Jack cards in the display case for sale at the price of a "real" Cracker Jack card.

Perhaps, way back in the day, before the internet, people had no clue what most of the cards actually looked like and these copies were the only things many people could hope to see. That said, I've never seen anything like those in the past that I can recall.
