Honest Long Cut and Miner's Extra tobacco brands issued the multi-subject, 25-card set cataloged as T227 "Series of Champions" with four baseball stars: Cobb, Bender, Baker, and Marquard. These scarce cards measure larger than typical tobacco cards of that era, which helps this batting pose make a bigger impact on its holder. They also garner intense collector interest, thanks to 100% Hall of Fame player selection and strong, compelling colors.
T227 cards typically appear in collector grades and this PSA GD 2 reflects its rounded corners and spatter of black ink, as well as a short scuff near Cobb's left shoulder. Its back remains clear and 100% readable, which no doubt pleases the writer who compiled Cobb's biography and relevant stats! The population report shows that the vast majority of T227 singles are low grade, so this one sits at the median of their 99 examples, in spite of its PSA 2 score.
