Is that a recent pickup? I thought I recall seeing that recently (past year) in an auction.

Yeah, same one. That's when I picked it up.

I tried trading/selling the top one once and the offers were truly disappointing, which is why I still have it. The bottom card would be unique to T206's I believe with that front cut, showing three cards

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).

Probably couldn't retire from it, but a t206 with a crop mark might carry a premium. Front is Carrigan.
