Typically, a trade card of the time featured an image on one side and information advertising the business on the other. Advances in color printing increased the appeal of the cards. As a result, cards began to use photographs, either in black-and-white or sepia, or color artwork, which was not necessarily based on photographs. Some early cards could be used as part of a game, which might be either a conventional card game or a simulated baseball game.
By early 1886, images of the players were often included on cigarette cards with cigarette packs and other tobacco products. This was partly for promotional purposes and partly because the card helped protect the cigarettes from damage. By the end of the century,the game had become so popular that production had spread well beyond the Americas and into the Pacific Isles.
