This 1909-11 T206 Rebel Oakes with its Piedmont back is graded SGC 1 PR and comes from the legendary American Tobacco Company series distributed in cigarette packs. T206 remains the most widely collected pre-war baseball set, prized for its colorful lithographed portraits, and this card is a strong fit for set builders and dead-ball era collectors working on their run. Sealed in an SGC holder, it is ready for display alongside the rest of a vintage collection.
Rebel Oakes was a center fielder who broke in with the Cincinnati Reds before moving on to the St. Louis Cardinals. He later served as player-manager of the Pittsburgh club in the Federal League.
