Anyone know what this might be? It is blank back. Edited on: Apr 15, 2018 - 8:14AM

The same picture was used in the 1969 Globe Imports Playing Cards - Gas Station Issue. The King of Clubs. They call him Johnny rather than John. It looks like a poor quality black and white photo on COMC. Interesting to note that the back of the playing card is also blank. Edited on: Apr 15, 2018 - 9:33AM

SABR's Baseball Cards Committee has a blog that discussed this set. https://sabrbaseballcards.blog/2018/04/10/spanning-the-globe-to-bring-you-the-constant-variety-of-oddballs/ It may or may not give you some answers. Or maybe more questions.

This was part of a large sheet of Sports Illustrated posters circa 1968-69. I'm assuming it's been cut from that.
