June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Here’s a solid example of the Joe Tinker card from the elegant 1912 T207 Brown Border issue, a unique design of a kind of somber-brown motif that followed several years of colorful tobacco sets that rank among the most important in hobby history. The offered card is in a PSA 2 holder, a condition fairly typical of how these classic cards are usually encountered in mature collections. The silver-bordered card has a just a whisper of the ubiquitous “crackling” that often confronts this high-gloss issue, along with some wear to the silver corners; the Recruit Little Cigars back is presentable with some light staining, creating a decent presentation of the biography and statistics of the great Hall of Famer.
