This 1909-11 T206 Bunk Congalton has been graded SGC 3 VG and carries a Piedmont 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 3 VG, it presents a clear image with moderate wear consistent with its age, a well-balanced choice for collectors assembling the set in mid-grade.
Bunk Congalton was one of the hundreds of players chosen for the T206 set during the Deadball Era, a period defined by pitching, bunting, and aggressive baserunning. Every subject is needed to complete the full set, which makes cards of lesser-known players like Congalton essential for serious set builders.
