Very rare card of Pittsburgh Pirate Hall of Fame Great Honus Wagner from the 1911-16 T216 Kotton Cigarettes Louisiana regional tobacco issue. Only 3 cards have been rated higher by PSA, however they may not be a Kotton, as PSA does not distinguish between the 3 brands - MINO, Kotton, Virginia Brights in their population report. They are all lumped together under the T216 People's Tobacco heading. Good color and clear picture image. Perfectly centered top to bottom, off about 80/20 or more to the right hand side. Top corners about G-VG with the bottom pair having a shade more wear. Relatively clean both front and back. Diagonal crease at knees, with several others from top to bottom that do not disrupt the front surface that much. The main flaw is a 3/8" tear at the left shoulder which presents as a heavy crease but is not. Very tough card to find in any condition. As mentioned earlier, only 3 total among the 3 brands graded higher by PSA.
