The nearly 525 cards which make up the T206 set are the most
popular of the early tobacco issues. Players are depicted in
color lithographs surrounded by a white border. The player's
last name on the -7/16" X 2-5/8" cards appears at
the bottom with the city and league, when a city had more than
one team. Backs contain an ad for one of 16 brands of cigarettes.
There are 389 major leaguer cards and 134 minor leaguer cards
in the set, but with front/back varieties the number of potentially
different cards runs into the thousands. The set features many
expensive cards including a number of pose and/or team variations.
