Here are three numbered HOF pieces of a puzzle, but I haven't been able to find a checklist into which they all fit. Look familiar to anyone?

Trying to figure this one out. Looks like something that had to be hand cut from an outer box like the old Hostess, Kellogg's food product type cards. That combined with some kind of commemorative Legends or Hall of Fame (or both) set. I would guess 1970s or 80s.

Ah think I found it "1992 Sports Card News Old Time Tobacco Cards" I think these were inserts to the Sports Card News Monthly Magazine.

I collect: Baseball, Football, Hockey, Mostly Vintage pre1980, My Homie teams - Washington/Baltimore Teams Senators (Twins, Rangers), Expos/Nationals, Redskins, Capitals, Bullets/Wizards - HOFers - Non-sport (mostly TV shows and movies).

My Trade List is very much a work in progress

It's a match. Thanks!! I was thinking the same thing, that they were cut from a food product box, except usually the product name would feature prominently on such cards. Now to find a full checklist...

Quite a few of the full uncut panels are on ebay. Shows front and backs. Your cards look overtrimmed. Edited on: Nov 25, 2015 - 4:05PM ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*
