T206 Piedmont John Hummel PSA 4 – Brooklyn's All-Position Contributor

Originating from the iconic 1909–1911 T206 tobacco card issue, the most celebrated pre-war baseball set in the hobby. Distributed through cigarette packs by the American Tobacco Company, the series captured players from baseball's tactical Deadball Era in rich, vivid lithographic color.

John Hummel was a utility player for the Brooklyn Superbas who carved out a lengthy major league career by mastering multiple positions and contributing wherever he was needed. In a Deadball Era that demanded adaptability and execution over individual stardom, players like Hummel were the glue that held competitive rosters together — capable of appearing at infield and outfield spots while providing steady if unspectacular offensive contributions.

This example features the Piedmont advertising reverse and carries a PSA VG-EX 4 grade, presenting with solid overall eye appeal and well-balanced vintage wear for a tobacco card printed more than a century ago. A strong mid-grade example of a dependable Brooklyn contributor from baseball's foundational era.
