Canada's only tobacco card set to feature baseball players was issued by Imperial Tobacco in 1912. Despite the card backs describing the players as being with International League teams, the 90 subject issue covers the eight teams of the Eastern League, which had outposts in both Canada and the United States. C46's are not easy to track down, especially south of the border, and this PSA 2 of Chick Gandil offers a chance to corral a Black Sox player from an obscure set.  As seen, the right border (and left to some degree) has seen some heavy abuse and the card has some creasing and product staining visible, while the central image of Gandil is strong and the reverse appears to have never been mounted.
