Description

Graded VG/EX 4 by SGC. This is one of two examples graded at this level with none higher! Incredible T206 example of Hall of Fame pitcher Vic Willis (throwing) with the extremely rare Broad Leaf Cigarettes (460 Series) advertisement on the back. Broad Leaf (460 Series) backs are striking, unusual, and extremely rare. Even a sample of a common player is one of the most difficult-to-find of all T206 advertising backs. Examples featuring Hall of Famers are virtually impossible in any condition. According to T206Resource.com, this back ranks as the fourth most difficult advertising reverse (of thirty nine). While Broad Leaf (460 Series) cards are by no means easy to find, the three backs ranking ahead on the list are considered by many to be nearly impossible (they are the Ty Cobb Tobacco brand back, Brown Old Mill, and Brown Lenox, respectively). The card has very strong eye-appeal, is bright and clean both front and back, with extremely bold color, and light wear to the corners. The Broad Leaf print on the reverse is flawless and particularly bold. This is an exceptional high-grade example of one of the rarest and most desirable T206 Hall of Famer front and rare advertising-back combinations in existence.
