Produced by the American Tobacco Company, T206 was a set of tobacco cards issued in the early years of the 20th century. The set was issued in packages of tobacco and loose cigarettes through American Tobacco's 16 subdivisions. A century later, cards from the T206 sets would become staples in baseball card collecting due to their rarity and size, as well as the high quality of the set's color lithographs.
The T206 Ty Cobb baseball wallet, featuring the Georgia Peach himself, is known to be worth up to US $ 1 million if in mint condition. The “Bat off the Shoulder” wallet is worth at least US$$300,000, and is the only Cobb wallet to date that has been granted PSA 9 status.
