This 1909-11 T206 Al Mattern has been graded SGC 4 VGEX. Distributed in cigarette packs between 1909 and 1911, the T206 "White Border" set remains one of the cornerstones of vintage baseball collecting. At SGC 4 VGEX, it offers above-average presentation for a tobacco card of this age, with a clean image and wear limited mostly to the corners. The front features lithographed artwork framed by the set's signature white border.
Al Mattern played during the Deadball Era, when tobacco cards like T206 brought ballplayers into the homes of fans across the country. Cards of lesser-known subjects such as Mattern are key pieces for anyone working toward a complete T206 set.
