1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal Bob Groom PSA VG-EX 4

T206 Sweet Caporal Bob Groom PSA 4 – Washington's Workhorse Right-Hander

Issued between 1909 and 1911, the T206 series remains the most important tobacco-era baseball release in the hobby. Produced by the American Tobacco Company and inserted into cigarette packs, these vivid lithographic cards documented the players of baseball's competitive Deadball Era for generations of collectors.

Bob Groom was a durable right-handed pitcher who became a reliable presence in the Washington Senators rotation during the early 1910s, giving the club a capable arm alongside the incomparable Walter Johnson. A workhorse who logged significant innings across multiple seasons in the American League, Groom represented the kind of steady, serviceable starting pitcher that anchored Deadball Era rotations and allowed managers to execute the pitching strategies that defined the era.

This card features the Sweet Caporal advertising reverse and carries a PSA VG-EX 4 grade, offering strong overall eye appeal with moderate vintage wear expected from a tobacco card that has survived over a century. A solid representative of Washington's pre-war pitching corps and a clean mid-grade addition to any T206 grouping.
