This is unusual array of genuinely important cards that despite their royalty status have been variously abused, maligned or otherwise disrespected to the point that PSA and SGC have declined to entomb them. Instead, the companies have supplied the rejection stickers detailing the malfeasance, from things like evidence of trim, damaged backs, too fragile, minimum size and fragments, all of which provides a glimpse of the mayhem but hardly exhausts the curriculum. The roster includes the likes of T206s of Charles, Ritter, Seymour, Schreck, Reulbach, Pfeister, Pelty and Niles (PSA Stickers); Moriarty (T207), 1912 Obak Breem; 1914 T213 Coupons (8) of Chase, Bender, Gandil, Doyle, McQuillan, Merkles, Meyers and Bridwell (SGC Stickers); and T206 Piedmonts of Hannifan, Oberlin, Camintz, Rudolph and Zimmerman (also SGC Stickers). Bruised, battered, bothered and bewildered, these are key cards in less-than-ideal condition but key cards, nonetheless.
1909-11 T206, T213 Tobacco Group Denied Encapsulation (30)
