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.

Johnny Evers stands with his bat at the ready with CHICAGO down the front of his shirt in this T206 variant. The gorgeous sky and green grass background immediately draw your attention, giving this card massive eye appeal. Centering is west on the canvas, with soft, rounded corners consistent with the grade. Edges are actually very nice for the grade, but some light soiling along the left and bottom keep the card from grading higher. The Sweet Cap back is east on the canvas, with some tobacco soiling along the top and right edges, further explaining the card's technical grade. A truly beautiful starter-grade example of the Hall of Famer.
