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 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 a bit better than how these classic cards are usually encountered in mature collections. The card has 80/20 centering left to right and a just a whisper of the ubiquitous “crackling” that often confronts this high-gloss issue, along with some modest paper loss on the back; the Recruit Little Cigars back is presentable with some staining, creating a decent presentation of the biography and statistics of the great Hall of Famer.
