The first series of cards in the T206 set were issued beginning in 1909 in cigarette and loose tobacco packs through 16 different brands owned by the American Tobacco Company. It is a landmark set in the history of baseball card collecting due to its size and rarity, with cards of over 500 major and minor-league players issued in the set through 1911. It is known informally as the "White Border" set due to the distinctive white borders surrounding the quality color lithographs on each card.

Jean Dubuc readies to throw in front of a brilliant orange background. His dark blue Cincinnati uniform provides wonderful contrast and even more color to the canvas, which is very nicely centered and has sharp corners and edges to match the grade. A little light snow and registration which is close but not quite perfect keep this card from grading even higher than it already has. The Old Mill back has some light general toning to it and is west on the canvas, but isn't holding the card back. A wonderful mid-grade example of this pitcher.
