June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Here is an elegant card of the legendary Hall of Fame skipper Miller Huggins, a T204 Ramly Cigarettes example found here in a PSA 1 holder and boasting a presentation and attributes that belie that modest designation. The card set that was produced in the golden years of pioneering tobacco issues near the turn of the last century is as unique as many of its counterparts, with nearly square 2-by-2 1/2-inch dimensions and a stunning raised gold-leaf design on the front that was decades ahead of its time. This particular example boasts corners sharp enough to approach Near-Mint status in a slight diamond cut; the overall grade derives from some significant paper loss to the reverse and a large stain of nearly 1-inch across and running vertically on the left side.
