Prewar Baseball - T Tobacco Cards

Graded VG+ 3.5 by PSA. Outstanding example of the rare Ray Demmitt, St. Louis, T206 variation. Polar Bear was the only company to issue this variation, thus no doubt contributing to its significant rarity. T206 cards issued with Polar Bear tobacco were not well protected from the accompanying product, so almost all Demmitt's have significant condition problems, including at least some tobacco staining. This example, amazingly, has virtually no staining. The card displays brilliant colors, a crisp image, honest corner wear, and centering toward the right. The Polar Bear advertising reverse is boldly printed. This is a fantastic example of one of the rarest and most condition-sensitive cards in the classic T206 set. Reserve $10.
