The T229 Pet Cigarettes is a multi-sport card set primarily picturing boxers but also has aviators, cyclers and wrestlers. The set was issued sometime after the turn of the 20th century and is a very colorful series with biographical backs. The series was issued in California only and, as is the case with most of the other California-only issues, very difficult to locate.
This lot is for a single T229 Pet Cigarettes Sports Champions card picturing J. Scott Leary. The card has been graded as SGC40 or VG3 and has a deep red background and very clean front of the card. The back has the characteristic number stamp which is likely from the tobacco pack packer's stamp.
