You can almost always find the game results and sometimes the box scores in the sports pages of your local newspaper. Sometimes you can find cards of your favorite players included in the newspaper too. Here are nine "newspaper" cards from my collection.

1981 Red Sox Boston Globe #128 Carl Yastrzemski (The photos used for this 1981 Boston Globe set were never intended to be issued as cards until a Globe employee got a hold of the printing plates and illegally produced this set in two series of 64 cards each.)
1981 Tigers Detroit News #17 Ty Cobb (This set, issued by the Detroit newspaper commemorates the 100th anniversary of professional baseball in Detroit.)
1990 Arlington Post All Star #NNO Ken Griffey Jr. (I believe this card was distributed by the Greater Arlington/Mansfield Spotlight Yellow Pages.)

1991 Alrak Griffey Gazette #2 Ken Griffey Jr./Holdin' On (This card of The Kid making one of the most spectacular catches of his career while destroying his knee in the process was produced by Alrak Enterprises and issued to honor Griffey Jr.)
1991 Texas Enquirer #NNO Nolan Ryan (This unlicensed Ryan card sports the fictional Texas Enquirer header and commemorates Ryan's seventh no-hitter.)
2004 Yankees Fleer Daily News #5 Derek Jeter (This card was issued as part of a nine-card un-perforated sheet that was included as an insert in the Daily News.)

2004 Mets Post Fleer #8 Mike Piazza (This is from a nine-card standard-size set, upon being cut from non-perforated sheets, and was issued as an insert in the New York Post.)
2006 Red Sox Upper Globe #13 David Ortiz (This is from a set issued by the Boston Globe and included as an insert in their paper.)
2007 Red Sox Upper Deck Boston Globe #7 Jacoby Ellsbury (The Boston Globe followed up their 2006 set with this set in 2007. The 20-card set was issued in two ten card perforated sheets. The sports guy at our radio station got a hold of a huge stack of these and gave me about a dozen sets.)
