Graded FAIR 1.5 by PSA. Modestly graded example of Bill Bergen (batting pose) from the classic T206 White Border set featuring a desirable Brown Hindu advertising reverse. Brown Hindu is certainly not in the same league as Drum or Uzit, but it is seen far less often than Piedmont or Sweet Caporal advertising backs. This example is bright and crisp with bold colors and centering slightly toward the right. The important Hindu reverse is boldly printed. Honest corner wear and strips of paper loss on the reverse factor into the assigned grade. This is a very presentable example featuring a scarce T206 advertising back, which is ranked as the fourteenth most difficult (out of thirty-nine) within the set by T206Resource.com. Reserve $100.
