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.

Johnny Evers sits for a portrait in front of a green background in this T206 variant. Centering is very nice, with rounded corners and soft edges consistent with the grade. A smudge at the top edge and some snow on the image keep this card from grading higher, but it still has plenty of eye appeal with its deep colors. The Sweet Cap back has some general soiling and dirtiness, but the text is dark and bold, and entirely legible and in tact. A nice low-grade example of the Hall of Famer.
