Description

Rarely offered example of Philadelphia Athletics Hall of Famer Frank "Home Run" Baker from the 1912 S81 Large Silk tobacco-premium issue. S81 silks could be obtained only by mail, in exchange for 20 Helmar Tobacco gift coupons per silk. The redeemable coupons were inserted one coupon per pack, so it is not surprising that these premiums are extremely rare. Baker is one of the key Hall of Famers in the set, which includes 25 subjects. This is one of the rarest and most desirable of all Baker tobacco issues. Encapsulated as "Authentic" by SGC due to being trimmed on multiple edges.
