This 1909-11 T206 Fred Merkle Throwing has been graded SGC 3 VG by SGC and features a Piedmont back. Issued in cigarette packs more than a century ago, the T206 set is the most celebrated tobacco issue in the hobby, and original examples with natural wear remain a favorite of vintage collectors. This card offers authentic deadball-era cardboard in a protected SGC holder, a fine addition for team collectors and anyone working toward the complete T206 set.
Fred Merkle was a longtime first baseman for John McGraw's New York Giants and went on to appear in five World Series with the Giants, Brooklyn, and the Chicago Cubs. He remains one of the most recognizable names of the deadball era.
