This 1909-11 T206 Claude Ritchey has been graded SGC 4.5 VGEX+ and carries a Piedmont 150 back. Distributed in cigarette packs between 1909 and 1911, the T206 "White Border" set remains one of the cornerstones of vintage baseball collecting. 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.
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.
