1909-11 T206 Ed Willetts Brown Lenox PSA 2 GOOD
ULTRA-RARE BROWN LENOX!!! The highly respected T206 Resource website clearly outlines the scarcity level of all 39 possible T206 ad-backs with the top three rarities including the Ty Cobb King of the Tobacco Smoking World, Brown Old Mill and Brown Lenox. This extraordinary T206 Brown Lenox Ed Willetts (Willett) offering therefore resides as one of the rarest tobacco cards on the planet. At the time this was written, PSA's population report listed only two other Brown Lenox Willetts besides this 2 GOOD marvel.

Ed Willett pitched 10 MLB seasons, with the first eight campaigns spent in the Motor City. His finest season was 1909, when he won 21 games with a 2.34 ERA, and led the Tigers to the American League pennant. This extremely rare T206 offering offers eye-pleasing features including rich background and facial hues, but it is the super rare BROWN LENOX Cigarette advertisement, including the "Factory #30, 2nd Dist. State, N.Y." typography, that captivates the collector.
