Default 100th anniversary of T201's....show and/or tell us of your cards

Not the most popular T-card set, but very colorful and innovative, the T201 cards are relatively easy to acquire. In
my opinion, the artwork illustrated on the T201's, and the clever fold-over design (completing the picture of the ball-
player on the back) represent some of the finest stuff from American Lithographic. Only 50 cards (100 Subjects) are
needed to complete this set. The fold-over feature allowed these oversized cards to fit into a MECCA cigarette pack.

Imagine a young kid's excitement when pullng a Cobb fresh out of a MECCA pack 100 years ago.
