The T215 Red Cross baseball issue is among the most desirable tobacco issues because of its scarcity and because of the extremely attractive Red Cross tobacco advertising on the reverse.  Utilizing card designs identical to the T206 issue, the T215s were distributed in Louisiana and, like other Louisiana-based tobacco issues, are extremely susceptible to condition issues.  One of only five examples of "Prince Hal'"s card to have been graded by SGC, just one has graded higher than this, an indication of the condition issues often plaguing the set.  In fact, out of 145 cards from the 1910-12 T215 issue graded by SGC, just eight have graded above VG/EX 4, and none higher than EX/MT 6.  This example is well-centered and colorful, a strong presentation with a relatively clean reverse that exhibits a faint wrinkle and some very light soiling.
