Posted By: <b>Cycleback</b><p>Phil, the 1909-11 T206s were tobacco cards, inserted inside packs of cigarettes way back when. Topps came out with a modern set that included, as inserts, genuine T206s cards put inside a speical Topps holder.

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>Howell had two different T206 images, a portrait, and an image with his hand at his waist. These are both considered common cards in the set, and the 2004 Standard Catelog lists these at $15 if in VG (very good) condition. This is just an estimate, some of these T206 cards are harder to find than others; prices will vary considerably with condition, as well.<BR><BR>Here is a scan of both.<BR><BR><BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1079851045.JPG">
