This 1909-11 T206 Claude Ritchey has been graded SGC 1 PR 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. At SGC 1 PR, it shows the honest wear expected of a card that circulated more than a century ago, while the original front image remains intact for set builders working toward completion.
Claude Ritchey was a steady second baseman who starred for the Pittsburgh Pirates alongside Honus Wagner, playing in the first modern World Series in 1903. He finished his career with the Boston Doves of the National League.
