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.

The colors and cleanliness of this Miller Huggins example just jump off the card. Posing with his hands cupped at his mouth, yelling to his teammates, Huggins is depicted here in his bold dark blue uniform with a red belt and CINCINNATI in red across his chest. The gradient background transitions from light orange at the top, to a deeper orange at the bottom. Centering is nearly perfect, if not just a touch east on the canvas, with nice corners and terrific edges. The green text of the tough Sovereign back is dark and bold. Centering on the reverse is far west on the canvas, keeping this card from grading even higher than it already has. 

SGC has only ever graded 26 total examples of this T206 with a Sovereign back, with only ONE receiving a higher grade than the EX 5 offered here of Hall of Famer Miller Huggins with his hands at his mouth.
