Cards like this were tucked into packs of cigarettes in the early 1900s, when tobacco makers used small collectible pictures to win loyalty and encourage repeat purchases. The title, which promises a set of champions, fit the sporting enthusiasm of the period, when baseball was becoming the national pastime and newspapers followed the pennant races closely. Because these cards were printed to be saved, many survive with their colors and printed text largely intact, which makes them valuable to collectors and to historians of the game's visual culture.
