Graded PR 1 by PSA, one of just five copies holdered by that company. Here's a superb "type" piece – depicting Carl Mitze of the Pacific Coast League's Oakland team in full catcher's regalia – from one of the most rare and obscure of all tobacco issues. This example exhibits a high-quality black-and-white image on the obverse, and its distinctive back advertisement is fully intact. Creases and corner rounding account for the piece's modest Poor assessment. An extremely rare item, from a West Coast-only release that's typically left unrepresented in all but the most sophisticated collections.
