Cree, New York, American League, from the White Border series (T206) for the American Tobacco Company 1909 - 1911

This is a baseball card from the T206 series, produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. It features a portrait of New York American's player, "Cree", in a realistic style. The card is part of the "White Border" series, characterized by the white border surrounding the image. The card’s diminutive size (2 5/8 x 1 7/16 in. (6.7 x 3.7 cm)) made it ideal for collectors and distribution with tobacco products. The image captures Cree in a game setting, wearing a uniform, with a stadium and sky in the background, creating a sense of action and excitement. The card is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
