T206 Piedmont 350-460/25 Tom Needham PSA 4 – Chicago's Backup Backstop

Printed during the famed 1909–1911 T206 tobacco card production run, this card originates from the most celebrated pre-war baseball release in the hobby. Distributed through cigarette packs by the American Tobacco Company, these colorful lithographic cards documented the players of baseball's strategic Deadball Era with vivid, lasting artistry.

Tom Needham was a reserve catcher for the Chicago Cubs during the heart of their dynasty years, providing dependable backup to the club's primary backstop while contributing to one of the most competitive rosters in the National League. In the Deadball Era, where game-calling and pitcher management were as important as anything else on the field, capable backup catchers like Needham were essential pieces on championship-caliber clubs.

This card features the Piedmont 350-460/25 advertising reverse and carries a PSA VG-EX 4 grade, presenting with solid overall eye appeal and moderate vintage wear expected from a tobacco card that has survived more than a century. A fine depth piece with a direct connection to Chicago's championship dynasty.
