These don't surface very often! Graded 20 Fair 1.5 by SGC. One of the legendary tobacco card rarities is found with the offered 1912 T207 Brown Background Louis Lowdermilk with a Broad Leaf advertising back. The T207 Lowdermilk has long been recognized as the key rarity in the designation as the original 1930s American Card Catalog notated it as being more valuable than any other individual card in the set. (At that time, the value was listed at a dollar while T206 Wagner was listed at fifty dollars).  A strong portrait framed by moderate, but light perimeter wear. Also noticeable on Lowdermilk's left collar is a hint of green coloring. One of only 12 total of the player/back combination judged by the third-party authenticator. From the famed Lionel Carter collection.
