Dan, it isn't large at about 4" long or so and wide enough for an E99/E100 or regular 1910 era tobacco card to have been in the package. I am unsure what this size chocolate would have cost maybe it was only a penny and the larger bars held the team cards, as some of the team cards specify the 5-cent packages had the team cards. Also, the team cards could have been folded once and then wrapped around the bar as well (like bazooka comics) but it has been years since I have held a Bishop's team card and can't really remember how thick they were and if that was possible ( remember them being pretty thin items). I have seen Leon's multi-fold example and it is my thought that someone after getting the card probably folded it that way to stack with their other Bishop's cards (e99/e100). Regardless of whether the team cards were in this size or a larger size it is safe to assume at least the E99/E100 cards came in this size package.
