Humongous assortment of (144) 1909-11 T206 White Borders and E91 American Caramel singles including (42) total Hall of Famers. These relics were removed from a period scrapbook and have sustained a combination of acute wear. Each card displays front/back paper loss/residue with additional instances of pin holes, severe creasing and/or writing. Despite those factors, the Hall of Fame selection overwhelms any technical detractors. Includes:
