Set apart by its plain white border rather than the colored frames found on many other T206 cards, this example was issued by the American Tobacco Company and packed into cigarettes around 1909 to 1911. Its printing combines relief and halftone techniques with color, giving the image a crisp, layered look. Cards like this one from the Benjamin K. Edwards Collection show how tobacco makers turned baseball players into some of the most sought-after collectibles of the early twentieth century.
