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 key John McGraw 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 1.5 holder, a condition fairly typical of how these classic cards are usually encountered in mature collections. The silver-bordered card has hardly a whisper of the ubiquitous “crackling” that often confronts this high-gloss issue, off center to the right and bottom, with some wear to the silver corners; the Recruit Little Cigars back has been rudely treated, with either paper loss or residue from being affixed to a scrapbook touching perhaps 15 percent of the surface area.
