Jimmy Lavender was a dead-ball era pitcher for the Chicago Cubs 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 Lavender remain essential for collectors completing this iconic issue.
