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.

George Bell has two cards in the T206 set. The first shows the pitcher with his hands above his head in the middle of his motion. This version, which shows the pitcher at the end of his follow through, is the more rare of the two. Centering is just slightly north and west on the canvas. Corners and edges are a little soft for the grade, with some light soiling particularly in the top left quadrant, but the beautiful colors and action pose give this card enough eye appeal to overcome any minor cosmetic issues. The Piedmont back has one small area of tobacco staining, but looks beautiful.

SGC has only ever graded 126 total examples of this T206 with a Piedmont back, with only twenty-five receiving a higher grade than the VG-EX+ 4.5 offered here of Brooklyn's George Bell following through after his pitch.
