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.

New York's Cy Seymous is seen batting in this T206 variant. Gorgeous pastel colors in the background add just enough pop to this canvas, which is otherwise dominated by Seymour's white uniform and cap. A dual name is visible at the top of the card due to a miscut leaving the centering far south on the canvas. While Seymour's name and team affiliation are luckily still fully visible, that is the major explanation for the card's technical grade. Still tons of eye appeal with this one, with the Piedmont back dark and bold, too.
