This 1909-11 T206 Izzy Hoffman has been graded SGC 2 GD 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. The SGC 2 GD grade reflects honest wear from more than a century in circulation, with the image still presenting clearly for vintage set builders.
Izzy Hoffman 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 Hoffman essential for serious set builders.
