This 1909-11 T206 Frank Owen has been graded SGC 4.5 VGEX+ and carries a Piedmont 150 back. 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. The front features lithographed artwork framed by the set's signature white border.
Frank Owen was a durable starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, winning 20 or more games in multiple seasons and helping the "Hitless Wonders" capture the 1906 World Series title.
