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.

Ill-fated Cleveland hurler Addie Joss poses in front of a yellow background for this T206 portrait. Centering is north and slightly east on the canvas. While the corners are soft and rounded, the edges are actually mostly very nice, especially for the grade. Unfortunately, a crease starting at the right edge near the height of the top of Joss' head runs into the card halfway, and another crease in the bottom right corner keep this card from grading higher. The red ink printing on the Sweet Cap back is dark and bold, with a couple stain spots the only flaws of note on the reverse. Regardless of the grade, this card of the Hall of Famer has massive eye appeal.
