Mystery Stan Musial card
I have a Stan Musial card I can't identify. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. I put an attachment up of the front only since it has a blank back.

You might have to create a photobucket, as I (and likely others) can't see your thumbnail.
Always looking for Verlander, Cabrera, Maybin, Mike Stanton (marlins), and Avisail Garcia.

This is blank backed right??
Looks like it was cut from a product like cereal or something.
Looks hand cut..
I bet you might have a late product card..I wonder if the sheets are listed in the big book of cards?? The sheets or intact backs are more likely to be listed.
However, without a year, it would take some searching..
The Big Book is the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards and includes a lot of odd ball items, like caps and coins..
Good luck

The photo was taken in the early 50's...looks like a cut from a food container or book cover.

This is killing me. I know I've seen that card before. The photo has been used on several products and in several magazines.

Could it be just the photo and name cut from an old Post Cereal card?

I've looked at all the Post cards. They don't match.

It is most likely from something that whould have had thicker cardboard than a regular card. The blank back does show some age so it is older. It has kid hand writing with Musials name and basic info and the pencil is faded to.

It could have come off of an equipment box of some kind. He did several things for Rawlings. I checked all of them though and they don't match up.
