1909 T206 Baseball Card Lot (3) Incl. Howie Camnitz, George Mullin & Deacon Phillippe

Synonymous with the phrase “tobacco card,” the 1909-1911 T206 series consists of 524 distinctly different “White Border” player portrayals measuring about 1-7/16″ by 2-5/8”. The cards were designed to conform to the packages they shared with their American Tobacco Company products.

The T206 collection includes 390 cards featuring major league players (with multiple poses and captions for the same player counted separately) and 134 minor leaguers, each in a straightforward and simple arrangement. Never assigned a formal title by its maker, the issue derives its T206 identity from a single line in Jefferson Burdick’s definitive volume, The American Card Catalog. T206s were released from the 1909 through 1911 seasons, with the majority showing reverse side advertising of the company’s popular tobacco brands.
