The T213-2 Coupon Cigarettes issues probably due to their resemblance to T206 cards are extremely underappreciated when it comes to condition. The gloss coating on the card fronts are more akin to the T207 cards in terms of susceptibility to chipping and like the other New Orleans-based issues are extremely condition sensitive. To compare of all the T206 cards to have been graded by PSA more than 28% have graded at the EX level or better. Of the T213-2 cards they have graded just 2.5% have attained the EX level with only ONE CARD grading EX-MT. It is against that backdrop that we present this wonderful card from the issue the Ty Cobb "Bat Off Shoulder" pose. Graded VG+ 3.5 by SGC the card presents extremely well some light wrinkling visible along the top near Cobb's cap and some additional surface wear visible upon close inspection. Corner wear is actually stronger than one would expect at this grade level and the reverse is clean with a very slight miscut at the top. Regardless a very desirable card as Cobb cards continue to skyrocket in value particularly his more difficult card types.
