This 1909-11 T206 Ed Karger has been graded SGC 4 VGEX 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 4 VGEX, it offers above-average presentation for a tobacco card of this age, with a clean image and wear limited mostly to the corners.
Ed Karger 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 Karger essential for serious set builders.
