June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Presented is a key card of Edgar Summer and Hughie Jennings in one of the unique early tobacco issues, the 1911 T201 Mecca Double Folders that feature attractive artwork of two players that fold over to allow them to share a pair of legs. The 2 3/16th-by-4 ¾-inch cards have a full-bleed image of the primary player on the front and a smaller image of the secondary player on the back that shares space with statistics for both and the Mecca Cigarettes script at the bottom. The offered card is found in a PSA 2 holder, a condition that is a bit better than these charming cards are typically encountered in mature collections, with some major staining across the middle of the card front and back. The painting of Summers on the front is sharp, as is the smaller image of the Hall of Famer Jennings on the reverse, though both images are touched by the staining mentioned above; the printing on the back is jostled by some staining and light toning.
