June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
This is a highly presentable example of one of the unique turn-of-the-century tobacco issues, the oversized T201 Mecca Double Folders that featured 100 players on 50 cards, with the players sharing legs by virtue of the “fold over” effect of the 2 ¼-by-4 11/16-inch cards. The offered card featuring Hall of Famer Walter Johnson on the front and his catcher, Gabby Street, looming on the back and awaiting the eventual fold over, is in a PSA Authentic holder, noting “Altered” is likely assessed because of the missing piece from the upper righthand corner; the card seemingly presents a good deal better than its technical grade, with the color lithography of the charming artwork of both players creating an outstanding presentation.
