This is a baseball card from the T206 set, produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. It features a portrait of "Barry," a player for the Philadelphia Athletics, against a blue background. The card is a prime example of early 20th-century baseball card design, featuring simple portraiture and bold lettering. The T206 set was distributed with various brands of cigarettes, making it one of the most popular and sought-after sets in collecting history.
