Trade card from the Baseball Doubleheader series (R414-10), issued in 1955 by Topps Chewing Gum Company. The set consists of 66 cards that are perforated in the middle, which allows them to be folded. When open, there is a color image of a player against a stadium background, and when folded, a different player and stadium appears, with both players sharing the same lower legs and feet. Placed side by side in reverse numerical order, the backgrounds form a continuous stadium scene.
