This 1909-11 T206 Al Shaw has been graded SGC 4.5 VGEX+. Issued in cigarette packs by the American Tobacco Company, the T206 set is one of the most widely collected pre-war baseball issues and the centerpiece of many vintage collections. The SGC 4.5 VGEX+ grade reflects a well-preserved card with a clear image and solid eye appeal, a strong choice for collectors building the set in higher grade.
Al Shaw was one of the hundreds of players chosen for the T206 set during the Deadball Era, a period defined by pitching, bunting, and aggressive baserunning. Every subject is needed to complete the full set, which makes cards of lesser-known players like Shaw essential for serious set builders.
