1909-11 T206 Piedmont Pryor McElveen PSA VG-EX 4
T206 Piedmont Pryor McElveen PSA 4 – Brooklyn Infield Depth
Printed during the landmark 1909–1911 T206 tobacco card issue, this card belongs to the most celebrated pre-war baseball set ever produced. Distributed through cigarette packs by the American Tobacco Company, the release captured players from baseball's strategic Deadball Era in vivid, richly colored lithographic detail.
Pryor McElveen was an infielder who served the Brooklyn Superbas during the early 1900s, contributing the kind of steady if unheralded play that gave Deadball Era rosters their depth and durability. Players like McElveen — filling gaps in the lineup, executing the fundamentals, and keeping the team competitive day after day — were the backbone of professional baseball's foundational years.
This card 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 more than a century old. A respectable mid-grade example from one of Brooklyn's quiet contributors to the pre-war game.
