Bright and colorful example of one of Honus Wagner's most scarce issues: the T216 with the Kotton Tobacco reverse. Issued over the course of five years the T216 issue included two different poses of Wagner (throwing and batting) with two variations of each depicting Wagner as a second baseman or a shortstop respectively. This example has been graded VG+ 45 by SGC and features Wagner in his batting pose listed as a second baseman. While the card does exhibit surface and edge wear consistent with the grade the borders are extremely wide resulting in outstanding eye appeal. A strong example of one of the more scarce tobacco issues to feature Honus Wagner.
