This foldout pairs two Red Sox players, Tris Speaker and Joseph Wood, on a single card, a format that let tobacco makers pack more images into a small insert. Speaker, the center fielder known as "the gray Ghost," was one of the best defensive outfielders of the deadball era and a central figure in Boston's championship teams of the 1910s. Hassan was a cork-tipped cigarette brand, and cards like this were slipped into packs to encourage repeat purchases and to give collectors a reason to save them. Cards from this period are now valued as early visual records of the game, its uniforms, and the players who defined Boston baseball before the 1920s.
