June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Here is an important Hughie Jennings card from a truly elegant turn-of-century tobacco issue, the alarming condition-sensitive T205 Gold Borders with gold-leaf, full-bleed card fronts that so readily reveal even the slightest nicks to the gold accents. Adding to the uniqueness of the issue, the set boasts three different designs, customized for the American and National Leagues and a third, even more ornate and intricate, for the one dozen minor leaguers. The card of the legendary Hall of Famer Jennings is one of the more attractive cards in the issue with notably vivid green background, found here in a PSA Authentic (Altered) holder, presenting a bit better than its technical grade; the card reveals just a bit of the anticipated chipping at the top of the card on the front, with good centering left to right and 90/10 bottom to top and a Sweet Caporal back with staining and crisp blue printing and is off center to top and right.
