Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. Modestly graded example of the rare Bill O'Hara card, St. Louis Browns T206 variation. Polar Bear was the only company to issue this variation, thus contributing to its significant rarity. T206 cards issued with Polar Bear tobacco were not well protected from the accompanying product, so almost all O'Hara's have significant condition problems, including at least some tobacco staining. This example displays bright colors, a crisp image, moderate corner wear (weaker bottom two), and centering toward the bottom. The Polar Bear advertising reverse shows a bit of tobacco staining. Scattered creasing factors into the assigned grade. This is a pleasing low-grade example of one of the rarest and most condition-sensitive cards in the classic T206 White Border set. Reserve $10.
