About The Set: The 1911 T205 Gold Border tobacco set is one of the most sought after and collected baseball card sets produced prior to 1950. The cards were produced by multiple tobacco brands, and used as a marketing scheme to sell cigarettes and tobacco products. Each individual tobacco company printed their name/insignia on the back of the card. The rarer backs command a higher value, depending on the rarity of the card/brands printed on the back. T205 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia T205 Christy Mathewson T205 Chief Bender T205 John Dunn The tobacco card set known as T205 was issued in 1911 in cigarette and loose tobacco packs through 11 different brands owned by the American Tobacco Company. It is a landmark set in the history of baseball card collecting. History The name T205 refers to the catalog designation assigned by Jefferson Burdick in his book The American Card Catalog. It is also known informally as the “Gold Borders” set due to the distinctive gold borders surrounding the lithographs on each card. The T205 set consists of 220 cards, which includes many variations and short prints. The set consists of three different leagues: the American, National, and Minor Leaguers. The American League can be identified by the baseball diamond surrounding the portrait of the player sporting their team logo near the top. The National League displays a simple colored background with the first-ever use of a facsimile autograph of the player. Minor Leaguers are made up of 12 cards printed with noticeably different and more detailed borders. The cards measure 1-7/16″ x 2-5/8″ which is considered by many collectors to be the standard tobacco card size. The T205 set is one of the most popular sets of the tobacco/pre-war era, second only to T206. The large number of variations, number of stars, and colorful artwork give it enormous appeal to collectors. There are 27 Baseball Hall of Fame members in the set (in alphabetical order): Home Run Baker, Chief Bender, Roger Bresnahan, Mordecai Brown, Frank Chance, Fred Clarke, Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins, Hugh Duffy, Johnny Evers, Clark Griffith, Miller Huggins, Hughie Jennings, Walter Johnson, Addie Joss, Rube Marquard, Christy Mathewson, John McGraw, Tris Speaker, Joe Tinker, Bobby Wallace, Zack Wheat, Cy Young. With a little effort the set can be completed minus the most difficult card to obtain, the elusive Hoblitzell no stats. Tobacco Brands that Produced T205 Cards T205 cards were issued with 17 different backs, representing the 11 different brands of cigarettes/tobacco with which the cards were issued. Due to the same card having different backs, there are actually far more than 220 “different” T205 cards. The 17 backs are: American Beauty Black American Beauty Green Broad Leaf Black Broad Leaf Green Cycle Drum Hassan Factory 30 Hassan Factory 649 Hindu Honest Long Cut Piedmont Factory 25 Piedmont Factory 42 Polar Bear Sovereign Sweet Caporal Factory 25 Black Sweet Caporal Factory 42 Black Sweet Caporal Red New Error Discovered: The sports memorabilia community recently discovered an uncorrected error on Cycle brand cards of Hall of Fame pitcher Christy Mathewson. While his pitching record should (and typically does) read 37-11, on Cycle cards it is listed as 37-1. While it is difficult to determine rarity and value due to a lack of market data, the card is expected to be more common and less expensive than the Hoblitzell no-stats variation.
