The T201 Mecca Double Folders series is a rare set of lithographed cards produced in 1911. The cards get their name because of their innovative design, which allows for the card, when folded, to show a second player. Thus, the complete set of 50 cards actually contains 100 players. This is a partial set of 24/50 featuring Mathewson, Cicotte, Bender, Baker, Huggins and McGinnity. One interesting note is that Mathewson's name is misspelled. These cards were some of the first to list the player's statistics on the reverse side. Stars are overall Good. Rest range from Poor to VG-EX with one having minor paper loss on front.
