The drawings on back favor some ball players.

Top Middle looks like WaJo Walter Johnson to me

Middle Left looks like Grover Alexander

Dan, I've never seen this Schapira candy box before. But the wording "a series of ... packages. Save the entire set." suggests to me there was no card inside. Rather, there may have been a small toy inside the box, and/or maybe kids were supposed to save the entire set of boxes with their different designs.
