Show-n-Tell which Tobacco cards you have are your favorites, post as many as you like

Ted, SGC has 6 T213-1 Hal Chase portraits on their pop report, not sure if it is accurate or not. I used to have these 2 lower grade raw ones. I still have one, and traded the other to a Chase collector on here.

I can't pick only 7 cards, but here are a few that are fun to have...My memory is not the best, but the story of the T213-3 Chance is... around 1982 at a motel show next to the Astrodome, my Dad bought the card for me. I had it until the mid 90's and traded it away. I was able to buy it back a few short years later, realizing my mistake.

Here are some tobacco flavored favorites, 7 picked amongst a bunch of others vying for attention.

T206 Mathewson - because it was in the first group of vintage cards I purchased.

T210 Old Mill Mulldowney - because I like his attitude

T206 Lefty Leifield - because I have always loved the colors and pose

T207 Hoff - because of its scarcity and especially the Barker back notations

Obaks - because Obak cards are just plain amazing

Gypsy Queen Connor - because I always thought this was an Old Judge card, and after posting here was informed that it was actually a Gypsy Queen

Here are a few of my favorite T cards in my collection. No big stories behind some of them.

1. The T215 Red Cross - I never thought I would own this card. It's the only graded example of the Billy Purtell Jersey City card so I'm very excited to have him in my Jersey City collection.

2. T206 Jack Hannifin - My first ever T206 and also a Jersey City player. This is the card that started my Jersey City collection.

3. C46 Butler - not a T card but still a tobacco card from Canada and, again, part of the Jersey City collection.

4. T206 Walsh. I just really like this card in the set and it's a nice HOFer.

T206 White Border Molesworth (the ONLY Birmingham Baron in the entire set) - All collections need at least one T206
T205 Gold Border Speaker (HOF centerfielder) - love the distinct designs for American League, National League and Minor League players
T227 Series of Champions de Oro - underappreciated set that covers many sports including baseball, billiards, boxing, golf and racing...hoping to discover that final 25th card design

One of my favorite items is my T4 Obak Cabinet. Here is the T4 Cabinet with several T212s and a Studio Cabinet of Claude Berry.

Another favorite is my Joseph Laughlin Old Mill Cabinet with his T210 Old Mill card.

Good morning Rob

Great stuff, guy. Thanks for posting your cards, and story.

I modified this thread's title to allow an unlimited amount of cards (etc.) that you can post.

Some of these are beaters, but that is OK with me.
