Hi Jef,


All three of those belong to a group of cards that many advanced collectors call “Broder cards.” They are so-named after an amateur photographer from Hawaii, Rob Broder (which may be a pseudonym), who did the photography for a large number of the early examples of these types of cards. However, the term “Broder cards” is now used to refer to all similar types of these cards produced by a multitude of other unlicensed manufacturers. Many collectors just call them “oddball” cards. These type of cards are all unlicensed, illegal, cards produced by various fly-by-night or start-up manufacturers to either promote their business or simply to make money from selling the cards themselves. As such, they have no investment value. They do have some novelty value for player completist collectors, but you shouldn’t pay anything over $1 for any of them. I hope this information helps you.
