Prewar baseball card collectors will immediately recognize the T206 card of Bill O'Hara with St. Louis (as opposed to New York) as not only one of the scarcest and most popular cards in the set but as one of the most celebrated variations in prewar collecting. This particular example is extremely attractive for the grade, with a crisp image and the majority of the wear restricted to the corners and edges. PSA has assigned the card a MC qualifier due to the tiniest bit of lettering being sheared at the bottom, though the entire name and team are legible. The reverse is largely clean, with some mild product staining typical of the Polar Bear reverse, since these cards were packed with loose scrap tobacco as opposed to rolled cigarettes. The rarity of the card is well-documented one of the more desirable cards in the entire issue.
