Due to printing on very thin photographic type paper, the T222 Fatima Cigarettes cards are extremely susceptible to condition flaws.  Wrinkles and tears are common among these cards, which are scarce to begin with.  In fact, of the graded examples from this set, more than 25% have been graded POOR or lesser.  Seeing these cards in poor condition is only uncommon in that seeing the cards in any condition is uncommon - surviving examples are typically severely worn.  This example appears at first glance like an attractive EX condition card.  Closer inspection, however, reveals a series of heavy creases and surface abrasions throughout the card's photographic paper, along with cracking to the photographic emulsion on the card.  Some light tobacco staining is visible on the reverse as well.  Regardless, a beautiful card from a very difficult, condition-sensitive issue.
