This is a baseball card from the "T206" set, which was produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. The card depicts a baseball player, Oldring, who played for the Philadelphia Athletics. The card is a prime example of early 20th-century baseball ephemera, featuring a simple design and realistic depiction of the player. The player is shown holding a bat with a serious expression on his face. These cards were originally given away with packs of cigarettes and are considered a highly sought-after collectible today.
