Prewar Baseball - T Tobacco Cards

Graded EX 60 by SGC. A very attractive T206 portrait of Cy Young set against a dark green background. This is one of Cy Young's most striking cards and one of the most popular cards in the entire T206 set. The colors are bright and Young"™s image is perfectly focused. The deep, rich green background gives this card particularly strong eye-appeal. The centering is virtually perfect and all four corners have light, even wear. There is a very thin factory print line above Young's head. The Piedmont reverse has bold blue print against an off-white background. A very attractive high-grade example of one of Cy Young"™s most striking cards from the premier tobacco-card set of the era. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $1,410
