How much were baseball players paid for using their photos and history on tobacco cards in the early 1900's?
Throughout history, sports celebs have been paid fees to appear on cards - candy, tobacco, bubble gum. In the early 1900's it was tobacco and cigarettes (called Tobacco Cards). I am trying to find out how much baseball players were paid, and if they were paid PER CARD or one SET FEE for use of their image and baseball history on the cards.

If it was anything like National Hockey League, according to Maurice "the rocket" Richard not much..... he said that the players now get paid in a day what he would make in an entire year, that was in the 60's or so......
