This 1909-11 T206 Pryor McElveen with its Piedmont back carries an SGC 4 VGEX grade. Issued in cigarette packs by the American Tobacco Company, the T206 set is the most famous tobacco issue ever produced and a cornerstone of pre-war baseball collecting. Original cardboard that has survived more than a century offers genuine dead-ball era history for T206 set builders and vintage collectors. Every graded example is encapsulated for long-term protection and display.
Pryor McElveen was an infielder for the Brooklyn Superbas, the club that later became the Dodgers. He played in Brooklyn during the same seasons the T206 set was being issued.
