This 1909-11 T206 Billy Gilbert has been graded SGC 4.5 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 4.5 VGEX+, it ranks among the stronger mid-grade examples of the set, with a clean image and wear limited mostly to the corners. The front features lithographed artwork framed by the set's signature white border.
Billy Gilbert 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 Gilbert are key pieces for anyone working toward a complete T206 set.
