Interesting collection of ephemera involving baseball betting "parlay cards" from the 1930s. Each of the four cards are different in design ranging in dates from 1930 to 1939 each attractively printed but with various condition issues such as folds minor tears hole punches and overall toning consistent with paper ephemera not intended to be collectible. A very interesting historical document involving gambling and baseball a combination that has led to some of the greatest controversies in sports.
