This is a baseball card from the T206 series, created by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. The card depicts a portrait of Criger, a player for the St. Louis Browns (American League), wearing a uniform with the team's initials, "STL," prominently displayed. The card's simple design, with a red background and a close-up of the player, is typical of the era, and these cards are highly sought after by collectors today. The T206 series included over 500 different cards and are considered to be some of the most iconic pieces of sports memorabilia.
