Extremely attractive wide-bordered card from the rare and desirable T215 (Type I) Red Cross Tobacco set featuring Hall of Fame manager John McGraw's "portrait" pose. A bright red background gives the card a vivid appearance the evenly-rounded corners detracting only from the card's technical grade but not it's eye appeal. The pleasing Red Cross Tobacco ad on the reverse one of the most attractive and desirable of all the tobacco issues' back advertisements is unblemished and well-centered. An outstanding card with significant collector value. Population Data SGC Population: unknown* PSA Population: 1 total graded 0 at this level 1 higher *SGC's population report differentiates one McGraw portrait card with the Red Cross reverse but seven additional - including this one - with an unspecified pose. Since there are two McGraw poses in the T215 issue we are unsure how many of the eight catalogued cards are portrait cards vs. the "glove at hip" version. Regardless this is a scarce card.
