This 1909-11 T206 Claude Ritchey has been graded SGC 3 VG 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 3 VG grade reflects moderate corner and surface wear, while the card retains solid eye appeal for a tobacco issue more than a century old.
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.
