Lot # 26: 1914 T213 Coupon Cigarettes (Type 2) Ty Cobb Bat Off Shoulder PSA POOR 1

T213 (Type 2) of Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer Ty Cobb in a bat-off-shoulder pose, one of the key cards to this elusive and extremely rare tobacco set. T213 (Type 2) Coupon Cigarettes is one of tobacco-card collecting's rarest and most overlooked sets. 1914 T213 (Type 2) Coupon Cigarettes is a particularly interesting issue. Similar in design and borrowing the same images as T206, the T213 (Type 2) Coupon set was issued exclusively in the Louisiana area, and is far rarer than its T206 counterparts. Because they were issued in 1914, they are not only one of the last of the traditional tobacco-card issues, but also one of the few tobacco-card sets to feature players identified with Federal League teams. The T213 (Type 2) Coupon cards are seldom seen, and because of this, receive little attention. This example has bright colors, outstanding registration, and honest corner wear. Graded POOR 1 by PSA, largely due to several spots of paper loss on the reverse. Despite its flaws, this remains a visually appealing example of one of Cobb's rarest and most interesting tobacco cards.
