1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal Simon Nichols - Nicholls, Batting PSA VG-EX 4
T206 Sweet Caporal Simon Nichols – Nicholls, Batting PSA 4 – American League Infield Depth
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, the release preserved the full depth of Deadball Era professional baseball in vivid, lasting lithographic color.
Simon Nichols — whose name appears with the variant spelling "Nicholls" in this T206 entry — was an infielder who appeared in the American League during the early 1900s, representing the kind of workmanlike contributor who kept competitive rosters functional game after game. The name variation itself is a small but authentic detail reflecting the era's fluid approach to record-keeping and card production, adding a subtle collector's footnote to an otherwise straightforward depth card.
This example features the "Batting" pose paired with the Sweet Caporal advertising reverse and carries a PSA VG-EX 4 grade, presenting solidly with good overall eye appeal for a tobacco card well over a century old. A notable name-variant entry for collectors building comprehensive T206 holdings.
