T202s

About 25 years, no doubt as a result of Lew Lipset's book on tobacco cards, the T202 Birmingham's Home Run card became highly sought and chased after. As I recall, T202's were more popular back then for their originality than today. I still have a Birmingham HR card somewhere but damned if I can remember what made it special.

Excerpted in post #15 above - it appears that Lipset asserted it was a tougher card in the set, which ironically may have driven further scarcity.
