Yuengling's is the oldest Beer brewery (Pottsville, PA) in the US, it's not far from where we live.
During "Prohibition" they converted their brewery into producing Ice Cream. And, in 1928 they
issued these little B/W BB cards premiums. The Babe Ruth card is tough to find, simply because
you could redeem his card for a quart of ice cream.

Also, if you collected all 60 cards in this set, you could redeem them for a gallon of ice cream.
I am really surprised that any of these cards ever stayed in circulation.
