Tobacco and candy cards, along with a couple of baseball "giants", are offered up here, with Baseball Hall of Fame inaugural inductee Christy Mathewson, depicted in the New York Giants uniform in which he starred for 17 big-league seasons, leading the way. The T206 Sweet Caporal example has paper loss in an upper back corner and a crease in the lower region which does not affect the image of "Big Six", with PSA rendering a FR 1.5 verdict. A T206 Piedmont card of longtime St. Louis Browns' shortstop Bobby Wallace is slabbed Good 2, while a T207 Brown Background card of famous Giants' manager John J. McGraw, considered the smartest, most resourceful and most original manager of his day, earned a mark of VG-EX 4. Chicago Cubs shortstop Joe Tinker appears on a 1909 E90-1 American Caramel card graded PR 1, while a hand-cut 1920 W516-1 similar-size card depicts Tris Speaker as a Cleveland Indians' outfielder. The SGC holder is labeled "A AUTH". Stirring all-Hall of Fame lineup awaits its new appreciative owner.
