The first series of cards in the T206 set were issued beginning in 1909 in cigarette and loose tobacco packs through 16 different brands owned by the American Tobacco Company. It is a landmark set in the history of baseball card collecting due to its size and rarity, with cards of over 500 major and minor-league players issued in the set through 1911. It is known informally as the "White Border" set due to the distinctive white borders surrounding the quality color lithographs on each card.

New York's Jeff Sweeney reaches across his body with both hands to catch an approaching ball in front of a blue gradient sky on this T206. A dual name is visible at the top of the card due to a miscut leaving the centering far south on the canvas. Unfortunately, Sweeney's name and team affiliation are also cut at the bottom of the card, which helps explain the card's grade as its corners and edges are far nicer than the numerical value suggests. The initials "CRR" are written in black ink on the Sweet Cap reverse, and while that marking does not affect the front, it does further explain the card's technical grade. Still tons of eye appeal with this one, as the colors are beautiful.
