Lot # 480: 1910 T210 Old Mill Tobacco "Series 4" Va. Valley League Near-Complete Set (47/49) Including 16 SGC-Graded Cards

Presented is a near-complete set of 47 different 1910 T210 Old Mill "Series 4" cards (out of 49) featuring Va. Valley League players. Missing only Halterman and Orcutt for completion. The T210 set is actually composed of eight different series, each a set unto itself, and each representing a different minor league. The "Series 4" cards feature players from the Va. Valley League. A complete or near-complete series such as this is very rarely offered. Condition is 42% Vg to Vg-Ex (including three Ex), 22% Gd, and 36% Pr to Fr. Sixteen cards have been professionally graded and encapsulated by SGC. Grading Composite: EX 60 (3 cards): Conolly, Ferrell, and Leonard. VG/EX 50 (5 cards): Best, Brumfield, Carter, Collier (SGC 4), and Wills. VG 40 (5 cards): Canepa, Erlewein, Headly, Hunter, and Waldron. GOOD 2 (1 card): Moye. FAIR 20 (1 card): Brown. POOR 10 (1 card): Cochrane. 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 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 (minus two) of one of the key series, featuring Va. Valley League players. Total: 47 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
