One of the more intriguing issues of the tobacco card era belongs to the offered 1911 T201 Mecca Double Folders partial set of (34/50) cards. These oversized cards feature a full-size player action pose on the obverse with a smaller player image on the back. The design sequences are positioned so that the representations of each teammate could be arranged seamlessly. The overall condition breakdown is as follows: 18% (GD) and 82% (FR or lesser) with the majority showing a hint of glue residue on the reverses. Highlights include: Chase/Sweeney (FR, reverse residue), Cicotte/Thoney (FR, reverse residue), Clarke/Byrne (GD), Crawford/Cobb (FR, reverse residue), Evers/Chance (GD), Lajoie/Falkenberg (FR, reverse residue), Lake/Wallace (FR, reverse writing), Mathewson/Bridwell (FR, reverse residue), McGinnity/McCarty (GD), Speaker/Gardner (FR, reverse residue), Walsh/Payne (GD) and Wheat/Bergen (FR, reverse residue).



Opening Bid $750.
