A classic early‑20th‑century tobacco card featuring Admiral Schlei, catcher for the Cincinnati Reds and New York Giants, from the iconic T206 White Border series. This is the Batting pose, one of Schlei’s two recognized T206 artworks, and it carries the always‑popular Piedmont Cigarettes back.

Despite the low grade, the card retains strong vintage character and the unmistakable charm of the T206 era—still one of the most historically significant and widely collected sets in the hobby.
