June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Presented is an important 1913 T200 Fatima Team card of the Boston Americans, the unique 16-card set that followed on the heels of the tobacco card heyday from 1909 to 1912 with a 2 5/8-by-4 ¾-inch black-and-white card that was inserted into tins of the Fatima Cigarette Co. products. Printed on a brittle, thicker card stock with a gelatin coating on the front, the cards are sensitive to cracking and scratching. The offered card is found in a PSA 2 holder and presents in an outstanding fashion, far better than these key cards are typically encountered in mature collections, with instances of minor cracking and scratches that are visible only with great effort, along with an uncommonly clean and problem-free card back, with just the barest whisper of toning.
