June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Here’s an outstanding example of a key card of the legendary Max Carey 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 4 holder, a condition markedly better than these important cards are typically encountered in mature collections. The silver-bordered example has a centering bias to the left and top, boasting an outstanding patina and virtually none of the ubiquitous “crackling” that often confronts this high-gloss issue, and a miniscule dot of paper loss; the Recruit Little Cigars back is similarly impressive, with barely a whisper of toning, creating a decent presentation of the biography and statistics of the great Hall of Famer.
