This 1909-11 T206 Ira Thomas has earned an SGC 2 GD grade. T206 is the most famous tobacco card set ever produced, and solid mid-grade examples with clean eye appeal are a classic entry point for pre-war collectors and T206 set builders who build by player.
Ira Thomas was a dead-ball era catcher and a member of the Philadelphia Athletics’ championship teams who appears in the T206 set, which documented hundreds of major and minor league players of the period. The set has been studied by collectors for more than a century, and pre-war cards of players like Thomas remain essential for collectors completing this iconic issue.
