Lot # 399: 1910 T210 Old Mill Tobacco "Series 1" South Atlantic League SGC-Graded Near-Complete Set (74/75)

Presented is a near-complete set of 74 (out of 75) different 1910 T210 Old Mill "Series 1" cards featuring South Atlantic League players, each graded and encapsulated by SGC (one by PSA). Missing only Viola for completion (offered as a separate lot in this auction). The T210 set is actually composed of eight different series, each a set unto itself and each representing a different minor league. A near-complete series such as this is very rarely offered. SGC Grading Composite: EX-MT 6 (1 card): Bagwell (PSA). EX+ 70 (3 cards): Manion, Morse, and Wagner. EX 60 (5 cards): Howard, Ison, Murch, Norcum, and Wahl.

GOOD+ 35 (2 cards): Hannifan and Weems. GOOD 30 (13 cards): Bierkortte, Bierman, Breitenstein, Bremmerhof, Collins, Edwards, Enbanks, Martina, McMahon, Shields, Sisson, Taffee, and Wells. FAIR 20 (2 cards): Carter and Raynolds. POOR 10 (1 card): Magoon. The T210 Old Mill Tobacco card set has always been extremely highly regarded by advanced collectors because it features so many players who appear in no other sets, it has a very distinctive design, it is scarce compared to most other tobacco-card sets of the era, and it features striking photos that are unique to the set. The T210 Old Mill set is also well known by all collectors due to its inclusion of Joe Jackson (Series 8) and Casey Stengel (Series 6), which are today regarded as two of the most famous and valuable of all baseball cards. It is virtually impossible to complete the entire set, and only a few complete sets (or even sets minus a few cards) have ever been assembled. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a near-complete set of one of the key series, featuring South Atlantic League players (some of these players will be familiar for their appearance in the T206 set). Total: 74 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
