1. 2 colorful end panels, very much like the popular T205 set
2. An action photo from about 1908-1911 (how cool is that!)
3. Perhaps best of all, each of those 3 panels has a very interesting biography of the players depicted, so you can learn a little about those guys, and baseball at that time, while holding a card that's well over a hundred years old.

I thought I would add some pictures to the T202 recommendation, although it is only one of many great options. Here we have a "slow-runner" featuring end-panels with a HoF player/manager/owner and a 16-year MLB veteran who happens to have the lowest batting average with 5K+ at-bats in MLB history. Griffith comes wearing the T205 NL pattern while McBride brings his T205 AL pattern. Sandwiched between is an action-shot featuring the player whose "steal" of first base triggered a rules change making it illegal. The backs are the two more common ones: Factory 649/Black and Factory 30/Red.
