The 1927 Rinkeydink Baseball Stamps were a ten-card issue that appeared in the upper corner of "Winnie Winkle" Sunday comics in 1927.  Subjects include some of the game's greats including Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby.  Ty Cobb was also included, as evidenced by this high-grade example, graded EX-MT 6 by PSA.  Given that the stamps appeared in the "funny pages," the reverse depicts a small piece of newspaper cutout, the contents differing by what was printed on the reverse page of each newspaper.  Coloration differences also exist, again depending on the paper.  Given that the stamps were printed on newsprint, they are scarce, and while grading company population reports have a higher percentage of high-grade examples, as one would imagine, high-grade examples are seldom found.
