The tobacco card set now known as T206 was issued from 1909 to 1911 in cigarette and loose tobacco packs via 16 different brands, all of which owned by the American Tobacco Company. The set consists of 390 cards total. This set is considered a landmark set in the history of baseball card collecting due to its size, rarity, and quality of color in its depictions of players.

These cards are also known as "white borders" due to their classic design, as a white border surrounds a colorful lithograph with the player's last name and the appropriate city below the image in black ink. The back of the card features only an advertisement for one of the 16 tobacco brands issuing the cards.
