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.

Featuring the superb uniform redesign bestowed to members of the 1908 Cubs World Series winning squad by American Lithographic, Johnny Evers is looking good against a fiery sunset, on one of the more colorful cards in the T206 series. Centering is beautiful, with sharp edges. Corners are nice for the grade, with only the top left showing some softness and minor paper loss. The printing on the tough Cycle back is dark and beautiful, with some light soiling along the right side. An exceptional example of a popular Hall of Famer, the card exhibits outstanding detail and clarity.

PSA has only graded 6 total examples of this T206 with a Cycle back, with only ONE ever receiving a higher grade than the VG-EX+ 4.5 offered here of Hall of Famer Johnny Evers.
