June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Here’s a nice example of the Tris Speaker 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 holder, a condition fairly typical of how these classic cards are usually encountered in mature collections. The card has some of the ubiquitous “crackling” that often confronts this high-gloss issue, along with some paper loss on the front; the Recruit Little Cigars back reveals some staining and toning, creating a nice presentation of the biography and statistics of perhaps MLB’s most underrated and underappreciated Tier One Hall of Famer.
