June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Presented is an attractive example of key Rube Marquard 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 1.5 (mk) holder, a condition fairly typical of how these classic cards are usually encountered in mature collections. The card has just a whisper of the ubiquitous “crackling” that often confronts this high-gloss issue, with good centering; the Recruit Little Cigars back is highly presentable with some light toning and stamping of a name that barely detracts, creating a nice presentation of the biography and statistics of the legendary hurler.
