upgrading to a PSA 4 with a Sovereign back. In June, 2006 Bill Miller
sold me my PSA 6 after winning it on eBay. |

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. |
