Originally issued in one-card penny packs and billed by Topps as "A gimmick penny baseball series," these cards call to mind the 1911 Mecca "Double Folder" cards which featured two players. Unfolded, these cards measure 2 1/16" x 4 7/8" and depict illustrated players set against a stadium background. When folded, the player image on the reverse becomes the front, sharing the same legs and feet of the player image on the front. When placed side-by-side in numerical order, the card backgrounds form a single continuous scene.

This offering is the Hank Aaron and Ray Herbert issue in a wonderfully high grade. Hall of Famer Hank Aaron is the main image, with fantastic centering and bold, bright colors. Edges are crisp and corners are sharp, with only a faint bit of staining near the perimeter, and some more near the statistics on the Herbert side. An excellent opportunity to acquire a difficult early Topps issue.
