The 1916 Tango Eggs baseball card set is one of the most mysterious and rarest collections in the hobby, consisting of only 22 known subjects. These cards were distributed as premiums with Tango Eggs, a brand of eggs, and feature player portraits or action shots with the player's name and team printed in a simple, elegant font below the image. The cards are similar in style to other sets from the same era, but their unique distribution method and the limited number of surviving cards make them particularly valuable. Notable players in the set include Hall of Famers like Ty Cobb, whose card is one of the most sought-after in the hobby. The 1916 Tango Eggs set is a true gem for collectors, representing a unique intersection of baseball history and early 20th-century advertising.
This single 1916 Tango Eggs card is of the subject George McQuillan that has been graded PSA5.5 EX+. Very clean type card.
