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.

This is a rare example in the T206 set which depicts a subject smiling with his teeth. Nice centering and a clean, white border frames this bold card with a fiery background. Rounded corners with some light paper loss are consistent with the grade. The tough American Beauty 350 back has some light soiling, but the front presents absolutely gorgeously.

PSA has only ever graded 12 total examples of this T206 with an American Beauty back, with only five receiving a higher grade than the Good 2 offered here of Cincinnati's Dick Egan.
