June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Offered is a popular Hughie Jennings card from one of the truly difficult early tobacco issues, the 1914 T213 Coupon Cigarettes Type 2 offering that looks for all the world like T206 cards but is markedly rarer. The fact that the cards were produced and distributed almost exclusively in Louisiana only adds to their cachet. There are two variations of Jennings cards in the issue, including this Both Hands Showing example that is found in a PSA 1.5 holder. The card has good centering all around; the pastel yellow background color is effective, as is the “Jennings, Detroit” typeface in blue that is distinct and differentiates it from its T206 counterparts. The Coupon Cigarettes back is decent, with uncommonly bold and vivid black printing and some staining.
