T200 Fatima team cards distributed by Ligget & Myers inside tobacco tins 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 copies in existence that have been graded NMT or better by PSA and SGC. And while we realize that the graded card hobby represents only a small percentage of the hobby as a hole it can still be used as an excellent guideline for determining relative scarcity.Such is the case with this Philadelphia Nationals card. Crisp and bright with shiny gold borders this card has been graded VG-EX by SGC making this a relatively high-grade example. Despite being one of the more plentiful cards in the set today a grade of SGC 50 still places this card in the upper tier of not only Fatima Philadelphia cards but T200 Fatima cards in general. An excellent example of a difficult condition-sensitive card type.Population Data:SGC Population: 104 total graded 16 at this level 5 higherPSA Population: 90 total graded 10 at this level 12 higher
