Distributed by Ligget & Myers inside tobacco tins the T200 Fatima team cards are notoriously susceptible to a variety of condition issues including cracking and peeling of the photograph wrinkling and creasing of the cards' brittle paper and staining from being alongside tobacco in the tin. High-grade copies are virtually nonexistent with around a dozen examples in existence that have been graded NMT or better by PSA and SGC. While we realize that the graded card hobby represents only a small percentage of the hobby as a whole it can still be used as an excellent guideline for determining relative scarcity. This example depicts the 1913 New York Giants a team that included Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson Rube Marquard and John McGraw along with football Hall of Famer Jim Thorpe. Graded GOOD 2 by SGC the card is dramatically miscut to the bottom-left with two creases consistent with the issue. An extremely desirable card due to its subjects and relative scarcity.
