June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Presented is an attractive Clark Griffith card from one of the difficult early tobacco issues, the 1914 T213 Coupon Cigarettes Type 2 offering that mimics the images of T206 cards but is markedly rarer. The fact that the cards were produced and distributed almost exclusively in Louisiana only adds to their cachet. The Hall of Famer Griffith is featured here in a nice example that is found in a PSA 1.5 holder and seemingly presents a good deal better than its technical grade. The card centering is roughly 65/35 right to left and only a modest bias to the bottom; the pastel yellow and green background colors nicely set off the image of Griffith, and the “Griffith, Washington” typeface in blue is particularly sharp and one of the distinctive elements that differentiates it from its T206 counterparts.
