1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal Heinie Berger PSA VG-EX 4

T206 Sweet Caporal Heinie Berger PSA 4 – Cleveland's Early Rotation Stalwart

Issued between 1909 and 1911, the T206 series stands as the defining tobacco-era baseball release and one of the most important sets in the history of the hobby. Produced by the American Tobacco Company and distributed through cigarette packs, these colorful lithographs documented players from the gritty, pitcher-dominated Deadball Era.

Heinie Berger was a right-handed pitcher for the Cleveland Naps who contributed to the club's rotation during the early 1900s, serving alongside future legends as the American League continued to establish itself as a showcase for elite pitching. In an era where starting pitchers were the engine of every franchise, players like Berger provided the reliable innings and consistent output that kept competitive clubs afloat across the grinding schedule of a Deadball Era season.

This card features the Sweet Caporal advertising reverse and carries a PSA VG-EX 4 grade, presenting with strong overall eye appeal and moderate vintage wear expected from a tobacco card that has survived more than a century. A clean addition representing Cleveland's pre-war pitching depth.
