T200 Fatima Team Card New York Nationals PSA 1.5 MK - The Giants of Gotham

Few teams embodied the grandeur of baseball's Deadball Era quite like the New York Giants, a powerhouse franchise that dominated the National League under the legendary leadership of John McGraw. The 1913 T200 Fatima New York Nationals Team Card captures this remarkable club during one of the most successful stretches in its storied history. Issued by the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company, the T200 Fatima series distinguished itself through extraordinary panoramic team photographs, offering collectors a rare opportunity to see an entire roster immortalized together. Featuring baseball immortals such as Christy Mathewson, Rube Marquard, and McGraw himself, this historic issue represents a fascinating intersection of early tobacco-card collecting and one of the greatest dynasties of the pre-war era.

Graded PSA FR 1.5 MK, this example is an authentic survivor from more than a century ago, carrying the unmistakable character of early baseball history. Its PSA 1.5 grade reflects the wear associated with a well-traveled pre-war collectible, while the MK qualifier denotes the presence of a mark, an important distinction in its assigned condition. These unusually elongated tobacco cards present unique preservation challenges, making surviving examples particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate the historical significance of early photographic issues. Despite its age and condition, this card offers a compelling opportunity to own a genuine piece of baseball's formative years.

The 1913 New York Giants were among the most formidable clubs in baseball, finishing with 101 victories and capturing their third consecutive National League pennant. Anchoring the pitching staff was the incomparable Christy Mathewson, who delivered another brilliant season with 25 wins and a remarkable 2.06 ERA, while fellow Hall of Famer Rube Marquard contributed 23 victories.
