Scarce 1911 T-205 Richard Hoblitzell "No Stats" variation. Offered is the rarest card in the T-205 set. Clean, well centered card with strong original gilt borders having just a touch of white at the corners. Back remains very clean and features a blank area below the biographical information that is missing the statistics. Card has been professionally graded PSA 4 VG-EX which, in our opinion, is without question conservative and most likely due only to the touch of white at top and bottom right corners. First example that we have handled in the tens of thousands of tobacco cards that we have handled throughout the years. |
