Prewar Baseball - T Tobacco Cards

Extremely unusual T206 card of Jesse Tannehill with a factory printing error. The card has a factory miscut on the back, featuring a sizable portion of the card to the right on the sheet. When it comes to the T206 set, which is the most highly collected of all vintage card sets, anything unusual (especially if it might in any way shed light on the mysteries of how the cards were printed) is of great note. This is an extremely rare and unusual printing anomaly that can be appreciated at a glance. As collectors have become more sophisticated, there has been a growing appreciation for all great rarities and unusual cards associated with the T206 set. This is a fascinating printing error. Graded VG 40 by SGC, the card has tremendous eye appeal on the front. The important visual aspects of the printing on the reverse that make the card so interesting are bold and intact. Value is always subjective, but in this case, because this card is so unusual and unique, there is no consensus for this card. We are confident the auction process will provide clarity. Reserve $200.
