April 3, 2025: Spring Auction
This is only a preview. The auction will open on: 3/17/2025 1:00:00 AM
Presented is an attractive 1913 T200 Fatima Team Premium of the Philadelphia Nationals, the oversized treasure that mimics imagery of the unique 16-card Team card set that was inserted in tins of the Fatima Cigarette Co. Printed on a brittle, thicker card stock with a gelatin coating on the front, the cards are sensitive to cracking and scratching. The offered piece is an approximately 11-by-19-inch image affixed to a heavy cardboard backing bringing the dimensions to 13-by-21 inches. The Philadelphia Nationals, though overshadowed by their intra-city rivals the Athletics, still boasted a lineup that included legendary Hall of Famer Grover Alexander and slugging outfielder Gavy Cravath, along with Eppa Rixey, Pat Morgan and Hans Lobert, among others. The offered piece is remarkable in its relatively strong presentation, with any significant wear confined to the backing board, including a missing piece to the upper-left corner. Like its uptown counterpart the World Series Champion Athletics also represented in this auction, this amazing piece is a significant artifact based on its rarity, uncommonly strong preservation and prominence within the hobby for advanced collectors.
