This lot brings together seven SGC-graded cards from the 1911 T205 Gold Border set, each housed in its own slab. Included are John Evers and Frank Chance of the Cubs (both SGC 1.5 FR), two examples of Chicago catcher Thomas Needham (SGC 1 PR, both), Briscoe Lord of the Philadelphia Americans (SGC 1 PR), Arthur Devlin of the New York Giants (SGC 1.5 FR), and George Wiltse's scarce "Both Ears Show" variation (SGC 3 VG), the highest grade in the group.

 

All seven retain the set's signature gold foil borders and facsimile autographs beneath each portrait, with backgrounds ranging from the Cubs' green field to Lord's red-and-blue diamond design. Each reverse carries the red-ink Sweet Caporal Cigarettes "Base Ball Series 400 Designs" advertisement, fully legible across the group. Condition reflects the expected gold-border chipping typical of low-to-mid grade T205s. A nicely varied lot of Deadball-era subjects, fully third-party graded.
