1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal 350/30 Kaiser Wilhelm - With Bat PSA VG-EX 4
T206 Sweet Caporal 350/30 Kaiser Wilhelm – With Bat PSA 4 – Brooklyn's Nickname King
From the landmark 1909–1911 T206 tobacco card series, the most celebrated pre-war baseball set in the hobby. Produced by the American Tobacco Company and distributed through cigarette packs, these richly colored lithographs documented the players and personalities of baseball's Deadball Era with vibrant, lasting artistry.
Irvin "Kaiser" Wilhelm was a right-handed pitcher for the Brooklyn Superbas whose striking nickname made him one of the most recognizable names on the T206 checklist. A capable starter who contributed to Brooklyn's rotation during the early 1900s, Wilhelm's memorable moniker gives his cardboard a distinctive character that has made his T206 issues among the more recognizable depth cards in the set. The "With Bat" pose here offers a less common compositional view of a pitcher typically captured in delivery poses — a visual rarity that sets this variation apart.
This example features the "With Bat" pose paired with the Sweet Caporal 350/30 advertising reverse and carries a PSA VG-EX 4 grade, offering strong overall presentation with moderate vintage wear appropriate for a tobacco card printed more than a century ago. A fine companion piece to his pitching variation and a visually distinctive addition to any T206 grouping.
