The card's face sells a brand rather than a player: Ramly Turkish Cigarettes, priced at 10 for 10 cents, a reminder of how cheaply a pack of smokes could be bought in the early 1900s. Tobacco makers of that era often tucked baseball cards into their packs, both to stiffen the cardboard and to build loyalty, so the card doubles as an advertisement and a collectible. Turkish-blend cigarettes were a popular, slightly upscale option at the time, and cards like this one are now prized by collectors of both baseball and advertising ephemera.
