The T202 Baseball card was manufactured and distributed in the year 1912. The card was inserted into packs of "Hassan Cork Tip Cigarettes". Several charactersitics make this vintage Baseball card a standout amongst other forms of tobacco advertising of the time and lend to it's value as a highly sought after collectible. First and foremost the cards are quite large in comparison to the T205 (1911) and T206 (1909 to 1911) cards from the same time period. The T202 was designed as a tripytch or as it is referred to in the baseball card collecting hobby a triple folder. Each of the end panels displayed an individual player in color, while the center panel contained a black and white photo of "live action" baseball players. To insert the card into packs of cigarettes the 2 end panels were folded over the center panel. When the card is fully extended it measures 5 5/16" wide by 2 1/4" high. The T202 set consisted of 132 total cards with numerous combinations of end panels and center panels. Prominent players of the time who appear on the most end and center panel combinations are; Christy Mathewson who appears on 10 different cards all on end panels, and Ty Cobb who appears on a combination of over 6 different cards including end and center panels. |
