This is a baseball card from the T206 series, produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. The card features a portrait of pitcher Jack Chesbro, a key player for the New York American League team. The T206 series, also known as the "White Border" series, was a hugely popular set of baseball cards featuring some of the game's most famous players. The artwork is a simple, yet effective portrayal of Chesbro, capturing his likeness against a yellow background, and the overall design embodies the style of early 20th-century sports card imagery.
