Presented is an exceptional collection of three different T206 White Border cards, each featuring the extremely desirable Broad Leaf 350 advertising reverse. Broad Leaf 350 series backs are unusual and very rare, though not quite as rare as the scarcest T206 advertising backs (such as Broad Leaf 460 series, Drum, or Uzit). According to T206Resource.com, the Broad Leaf 350 series back ranks as the ninth scarcest on its list of thirty-nine different T206 advertising backs. This collection consists of the following: 1) George Hunter (Brooklyn): GOOD+ 35, only example at this level with one higher. 2) Jimmy Slagle (Baltimore): GOOD 30, one of three examples at this level with one higher. 3) Sam Strang (Baltimore): GOOD+ 35, only example at this level with none higher. Each card is extremely attractive with flawless boldly printed and well-centered advertising reverses. This superb trio of cards from the legendary T206 series, each featuring the desirable Broad Leaf 350 advertising reverse, would be a significant addition to any T206, rare-back, or prewar-card collection. Total: 3 cards. Reserve $300. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $2,370
