1910 T100 Honest Tobacco Silhouttes Baseball none graded higher SGC 60 Bresnahan?
 

From the REA listing
Graded EX 60 by SGC. Extremely rare sample card from one of the T100 "Silhouettes" set. Issued in 1910 by the Honest Tobacco Company, this set features silhouette images of various characters and professions (bartender, plumber, fireman, fisherman, policeman, waiter, etc.). Among the fifty cards in the set, five cards feature sports figures (baseball, football, boxing, golf, and bowling). The card measures 2.25 x 3.25 inches and pictures a catcher facing left waiting to catch the ball. While the player is not identified, the catcher has the Giants' "NY" insignia on his shoulder, which could allow for a theoretical identification as Bresnahan. We have seen non-sport examples from this set, but this is the first example of the baseball player in the set we have ever encountered. This is certainly a very unusual and interesting sample card rarity. Excellent condition.

$1000/BO

possibly....very few care?

i think i used to own that!

This is a very rare card. I used to own a different SGC 60 as it's still in my old collection on my site. Since this is the only baseball player in the set it won't appeal to too many baseball card collectors except the crazy, "I have to have one of everything", type collectors. Neat card, good luck.

Thanks Leon, kind of picked it up on a whim. The old adage "if you've never seen one before, buy it" was my motivation!

lowered, last chance for Bresnahan or type card collector!
