"Hemphill, New York, American League" is a baseball card from the "T206" series, created by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. It features a portrait of a baseball player in a New York uniform, holding a glove in his raised right hand. The card's design, typical of the era, uses a simple, graphic style with a bright blue sky background. This card, like other "T206" cards, has a "white border" and is part of a larger collection of trading cards, each depicting a different baseball player. These cards, considered part of the "Golden Age" of baseball cards, are now highly sought after by collectors.
