First issued as one-card packs and called their "gimmick penny baseball series," Double Headers remind veteran collectors of the 1911 Mecca "Double Folder" cards with two players on a foldable panel. Unfolded, these measure 2 1/16" x 4 7/8" and show handdrawn players against a stadium background. When folded, part of each reverse image overlaps to share the front's legs and feet. Place cards side-by-side in numerical order to see this set's backgrounds form a continuous stadium scene.

This SGC NM-MT 8 shows Joe Frazier/Don Mossi at their best, with Frazier's image dead center on the canvas. Edges are crisp and square corners show the slightest of touches. The Mossi side echoes Joe's clean and colorful look. The population report contains just 15 total unperforated examples of this challenging test issue, with none graded higher!
