1911 T205 Gold Border Baseball Card Lot (2) G.N. Nap Rucker & Ambrose McDonnell

The American Tobacco Company updated its “White Border” baseball-themed insert cards in 1911 when it introduced the T205 “Gold Border” set. The T205 issue consisted of 209 different cards, each measuring 1-7/16″ by 2-5/8″. (Although just 198 players are represented in the T205 set, a few multiple poses and some variations account for the higher accepted total).

T205s, the lower number applied in The American Card Catalog’s definitive listings, simply because “Gold” comes before “White” alphabetically, replaced colorized, photo-based likenesses with illustrations. Border graphics of varying types, usually incorporating team logos and equipment, identified the respective league. Facsimile signatures crossed a portion of many ballplayers’ depictions.

Presented is a lot of (2) 1911 T205 Gold Border baseball cards. The cards are in starter set grade condition with some better than others. See photos for condition assessment. The lot includes G.N. Nap Rucker and Ambrose McDonnell
