This obscure PCL tobacco set features 25 known minor leaguers within its promised mixture of actresses and ballplayers. Most surviving examples show wear commensurate with their age, with top examples never exceeding middle grades. This auction offers four singles from this tough set.
The central image for Hughie Smith displays well considering its grade and obscurity, with corner rounding, a horizontal crease, and penciled notations meriting the SGC PR 1 grade itself. He appears twice in this set, with combined population reports showing just seven total known for this batting pose.
