June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Presented is a 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 found here in an SGC Authentic (Altered) holder, with perhaps 65/35 right to left centering, rounded corners and an erratic cut on all four sides. The pastel yellow and green background colors set off the image of Griffith; the card has been affixed to a piece of cardboard that is very erratically cut on all four sides.
