for that fact that the original owner let something chew them or taped them down. Edges are kinda decent on some,but colors are vibrant on all. The Lemon, Newcombe, and Kell are in the best shape with a bit of paper loss on front, backs are clean. Neat find while going though my few boxes of stuff.
What do you do with these sort of things? Obviously they aren't worth a much, if anything, but are damaged cards like this still considered "collected"?

Oh heck yeah these are collectable! I buy bulk poor condition vintage at shows whenever I can, I find the old raggedy cards very appealing. It's fun to own cards that you know some kid in the 50's put in the spokes of his bike, or glued to a scrapbook or wall, that sort of things. I know I'm not going own great condition vintage anytime soon, so I'm happy with the ratty old playthings. A few months back I picked up a bunch of 56's that had the player's name/head shot cut right out of the card (including a Hoyt Wilhelm). Neat thing to have, especially for the pennies I paid for them.
