Auction: Prewar Baseball - T Tobacco Cards
Graded VG 3 by SGC. Beautiful Ty Cobb card from the legendary T206 White Border set with the desirable Tolstoi advertising reverse. The red-background portrait pose has long been considered one of the great classics of the T206 set and of all vintage cards. The fact that this example features an uncommon Tolstoi advertising reverse makes this classic of particularly special note. T206Resource.com ranks Tolstoi as the eighteenth most difficult back to acquire out of thirty-nine total backs available in the T206 White Border set. The offered example has a bold red background, outstanding registration, honest corner wear, and centering slightly toward the top. The important Tolstoi advertising reverse is boldly printed. There is a small crease along the bottom border. This is a superb scarce-back example of this classic Ty Cobb card. Opening Bid $10.
