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.

There are three different Frank Chance cards included in the T206 set. This version, which features a portrait of the Hall of Famer in front of a yellow background, is the most common of the three. Centering is just west on the canvas, with rounded corners but fantastic edges. Beautiful printing and registration give this card tons of eye appeal, with only light tobacco soiling noticeable on the left and right edges. The green text on the tough Sovereign back is bright and clean, making this card even more desirable.

PSA has only ever graded 18 total examples of this T206 with a Sovereign 350 back, with only five receiving a higher grade than the VG+ 3.5 offered here of Hall of Famer Frank Chance.
