If this card was a premium just maybe it was given out at his dealership.

A possible scenario......this timeline appears to coincide with when I think the Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb card was available. I will check-out the
biography of Senator Russell that I have to see if there is any reference to him and his dad visiting with Cobb during the Spring of 1910.
