$800.00USD

PSA Graded Card - Certification #82784584 - Grade: VG-EX+ 4.5

This is an iconic pre-war baseball trading card known as the 'T206' and features Joe Tinker of the Chicago Cubs. The card displays a classic lithographed portrait of Tinker in his batting stance with the bat off his shoulder, wearing a blue Chicago uniform, against a soft yellow and green background. The front nameplate reads 'Tinker, Chicago Nat’l.' The borders are white with a thin black frame around the colored illustration. The card has noticeable centering and edge wear, typical for its age, but is overall in very good to excellent plus condition (graded PSA 4.5). There are no modern special printing technologies, as it uses the period's chromolithography. The T206 set is historically significant for its size, player selection, and legendary cards like the Honus Wagner. The 'Sweet Caporal 350/30' indicates the brand of cigarette advertised on the card's back and the specific series/factory variant. This 'Bat Off Shoulder' pose is one of several known Tinker poses in the T206 set.
