1910 T212 Obak 175 Subjects Hollis PSA 2 - West Coast Tobacco Rarity from a Forgotten Minor League Era
The 1910 T212 Obak series, issued by the Obak Tobacco Company, offered a unique glimpse into early Pacific Coast and Northwestern League baseball—far removed from the spotlight of the Major Leagues. Cards from this set are prized not just for their scarcity but for their vivid lithographic colors and their celebration of regional baseball heroes who rarely appeared on mainstream cardboard.
This example of Hollis, from the 175 Subjects subset, comes graded PSA 2, maintaining solid visual appeal despite its well-worn condition. Featuring Hollis in full uniform with a clean portrait and bold backdrop, this card carries the unmistakable style of Obak’s West Coast charm—defined by lush color palettes and early 20th-century aesthetics. These cards were often regionally distributed, making them far less common than their T206 counterparts, and extremely collectible for hobbyists focused on tobacco-era oddities or minor league legends.
