1909-1911 T206 Baseball Cards: An Iconic Tobacco Card Set
These iconic pre-World War I cards were found in sixteen different brands of tobacco owned by the American Tobacco Company. Setting a critical milestone in baseball card collecting. Sizing, card rarity, and the quality of the lithograph coloration has led these cards to be among the most expensive baseball cards ever sold.
Original T206 set is roughly a 525 card collection. Consisting of Portraits and Action shots of over 100 Minor League Baseball Players. Some featuring one card, others – as many as 5 cards!
Including many Baseball Hall of Fame members:
- Ty Cobb
- Honus Wagner
- Walter Johnson
- Cy Young
- Christy Mathewson
Players are in different poses, uniforms, and even teams (if traded during the production time). Measuring 1 7⁄16 by 2 5⁄8 inches (3.7 cm × 6.7 cm). Setting the standard tobacco card size standards.
Vermillion Enterprises bought these 1909 – 1911 T206 Baseball Cards. We also got them PSA Graded – preserving their quality and future lifetime for a collector’s enjoyment for years to come.
1909-1911 T206 Baseball Cards: Value
The value of these cards has led to many counterfeit reproductions throughout the years. Particularly the Honus Wagner T206 card. It is the most valuable baseball card in all of existence. Valued closely to $100,000 easily – for damaged cards. Partly due to Wagner’s immortality in Baseball. He is one of the original first five Hall of Fame inductees. As well as, this particular portrait card being one of the scarcest cards in the most vintage and iconic card sets. There’s only 1 Card in this set of Honus “Hans” Wagner. Hall of Famer John McGraw once stated Honus Wagner was “the nearest thing to a perfect player no matter where his manager chose to play him.” Playing EVERY position on the diamond except Catcher.
