1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal Ed Konetchy - Glove Near Ground PSA VG-EX 4

T206 Sweet Caporal Ed Konetchy – Glove Near Ground PSA 4 – St. Louis's Elite First Baseman

A strong mid-grade example from the celebrated 1909–1911 T206 tobacco card series, the most iconic pre-war baseball release in the hobby. Distributed through cigarette packs by the American Tobacco Company, the set captured players from baseball's Deadball Era with vivid lithographic detail and a sweeping checklist.

Ed Konetchy was one of the most accomplished first basemen of the Deadball Era, widely recognized as among the finest defensive players at the position in the National League during his prime years with the St. Louis Cardinals. Combining excellent range and reliable hands with a steady offensive bat, Konetchy was a fixture in the Cardinals lineup and a respected figure throughout the National League during the early 1910s. His longevity and consistent production give his cardboard a substance that holds up well even among the deep T206 checklist.

This example features the "Glove Near Ground" fielding pose paired with the Sweet Caporal advertising reverse and carries a PSA VG-EX 4 grade, offering strong overall eye appeal with moderate vintage wear appropriate for a card printed more than a century ago. An action-pose collectible from one of the era's most capable defensive first basemen.
