All cards were made by International Feature Service (IFS) in conjunction with Universal Toy Company. From R-L Christy Mathewson w516-2-1, Christy Mathewson w516-2-2, ? name and Walter Johnson w515-1. They all look Authentic, The Mathewsons are probably $30-$50 each, the player whose name I can't make out if a common $10-$15, and the Walter Johnson $30-$50. Good luck, nice cards.

the other card looks to be Rogers Hornsby, facially at least. If so, I would guess it to be worth about the same as the Johnson, although it's hard to tell how severe that vertical bend shows when the card is not shown in that glare, which would would affect its value as well.

thanks guys the other card is Rogers Hornsby, so would it be safe to say I could start all these cards on ebay with an opening bid of $24.99 and sell them, of do they need graded, etc.

Yes I think you'd be safe starting them at 24.99.....or even 9.99 and save a few bucks on listing fees. I don't think there's any value to have them graded....the grading fees would outweigh the potential profit of having them slabbed.
ps. I agree with Pariah's valuation of the cards. And the W515 next to Johnson is in fact Hornsby.

Not be be the devil's advocate, but the Johnson , Hornsby and the larger Mathewson look like color copies based on the scan. A typical strip card does not 'shine' like these appear to... Would look at these closer before offering them to someone as original...

Mark makes a good point, strip cards should not have a shine to them. Also, the fact that all these "throw-ins" are HOFers makes for a red flag too.
Re: what are these strip cards worth?
Good point guys, I thought it might be a scan/flash reflection, but the Rogers Hornsby w515-1 should also have a light green background. So I don't know what to make of these.
