The T227 Series of Champions is a series of (24) known subjects that can be found with advertising for either Honest Long Cut or Miner's Extra. The back advertising for each brand states there are (25) designs but only (24) have been seen. Most interestingly, the series offers (4) baseball players including Frank Baker, Chief Bender, Ty Cobb and Rube Marquard--all four of which are in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Other famous characters in the set include Abe Attell--well known for his involvement in the 1919 World Series as the "fixer" who help get the White Sox in trouble in baseball and Jack Johnson--famous African American boxer. In addition to those subjects, also included are horses, a speed boat, race car driver, wrestler, aviators and more. The Bruce Brown, for some inexplicable reason, seems to be the toughest card in the set with many sets missing this subject. The set has grown in popularity over the last few years and are highly collected now.
This lot is for a single T227 Miner's Extra Series of Champions of the subject Matt McGrath in Fair condition with heavy creasing.
