This 1911 T205 Gold Border card features Hall of Fame outfielder Zach Wheat of the Brooklyn Superbas, graded SGC 2 Good. The T205 release stands as one of the cornerstone tobacco issues of the deadball era, distinguished by its artistic color portraits and condition-sensitive gilded borders. This card features the desirable Sovereign Cigarettes advertising back from Factory No. 25 in Virginia, a tougher variant than standard Piedmont or Sweet Caporal backs. Inducted into Cooperstown in 1959, Wheat anchored the Brooklyn lineup for 18 seasons, winning the 1918 National League batting title and accumulating 2,884 career hits. With strong portrait color and a fully legible biographical back, this represents a classic vintage piece from a foundational pre-war set.Show more
