Prewar Baseball - T Tobacco Cards

Extremely rare example of Bill Dineen from the classic T206 set featuring a very desirable Drum advertising back. This is one of only two known examples of this front/back combination (two examples of this combination grading POOR 1 appear on the SGC pop report, but we can confirm this card has been counted twice. Also, both PSA and SGC have an example of this combination graded "Authentic," but we can confirm they are the same card). The offered card exhibits bright colors, a crisp image, and rounded corners. The important Drum advertising reverse is boldly printed and has spots of soiling. Graded POOR 1 by SGC (submitted by REA), surface damage along the nameplate and scattered creasing factor into the assigned grade. An appealing example of this incredible back rarity that would make an outstanding addition to even an advanced collection. Opening Bid $500.
