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 Cleveland 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 Authentic holder, with some of the expected cracking and scratches on a front that presents far better than its technical grade; the card back has significant staining and a section of paper residue affecting perhaps 2/3 of the surface area that was apparently from having been affixed to a scrapbook.
