1913 Oakland Oaks
Here is part of the description from the LOTG auction when I bought it:
"Similar in size and appearance to the Zeenut cards of the era, the method of distribution of these cards is largely lost to history, the 20-card set containing no nationally-known players. Still highly sought after by prewar collectors, this is one of fewer than 30 graded examples from the entire issue, and the highest-graded of just two cards of Abbott. A very difficult type card."
If this was a highest graded out of a two graded population T206, out of only 30 total graded in the series? Man, I would still be getting kudos for acquiring it (see my October pick-up of a really beat/trimmed Mitze from the same series).
