June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Here is an attractive Joe Tinker card from a truly elegant turn-of-century tobacco issue, the alarmingly condition-sensitive T205 Gold Borders with gold-leaf, full-bleed card fronts that so readily reveal even the slightest nicks to the gold accents. Adding to the uniqueness of the issue, the set boasts three different designs, customized for the American and National Leagues and a third, even more ornate and intricate, for the dozen minor leaguers. This card of the legendary Hall of Famer shortstop is one of the coveted cards in the issue, found here in an SGC 40 holder, with some of the anticipated chipping to the corners on the front and good centering; the Piedmont Back has some light staining and toning, along with some barely perceptible paper loss.
