There are three baseball themed trade cards in this set. On the front of them are pictures of baseball players wearing Merchant's Gargling Oil uniforms. One is catching a ball on the ground; one is dragging a bat and shielding his face with a hat after striking out; and the other is a catcher "hugging the bat." All three cards have a small description of Merchant's Gargling Oil on the bottoms. The backs of the cards have a long list of all the things Merchant's Gargling Oil is good for.
