June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
Presented is an important card featuring Hall of Famer Fred Clarke and R. Byrne in one of the unique early tobacco issues, the 1911 T201 Mecca Double Folders that feature attractive artwork of two players that fold over to allow them to share a pair of legs. The 2 3/16th-by-4 ¾-inch cards have a full-bleed image of the primary player on the front and a smaller image of the secondary player on the back that shares space with statistics for both and the Mecca Cigarettes script at the bottom. The offered card is found in a PSA 1 holder and arguably presents better than its technical grade. The painting of the legendary Hall of Famer Clarke on the front is crisp and colorful; there is some staining and toning on the back, with the statistics and Mecca Cigarettes logo off center to the left.
