1909-11 T206 Ed Abbaticchio Blue Sleeves Pittsburgh PSA 5.5 Piedmont 350-460/25

The product is a T206 Ed Abbaticchio “Blue Sleeves” baseball trading card, professionally graded PSA 5.5 (EX+). This original tobacco-era issue features infielder Ed Abbaticchio during the 1909–10 playing period and is part of the legendary T206 White Border set—widely regarded as the most iconic pre-war baseball card release.

This example comes from the desirable Piedmont 350–460/25 advertising series, issued by the American Tobacco Company under its Piedmont cigarette brand. The 350–460 series represents one of the later printings within the T206 production run, adding depth for collectors who focus on front/back combinations and print group distinctions.

The “Blue Sleeves” pose is one of Abbaticchio’s most visually recognized variations, showcasing rich lithographic color and classic early 20th-century baseball artistry. Graded PSA 5.5 (Excellent+), the card offers strong eye appeal with light corner wear, clean surfaces, and vibrant presentation—positioning it in the upper mid-grade tier that is highly sought after among pre-war enthusiasts.

As an original pre-World War I trading card printed on traditional tobacco-era card stock, this T206 Ed Abbaticchio represents a genuine piece of Deadball Era history. With its specific Piedmont 350–460/25 back designation and respected PSA 5.5 grade, it stands as a quality collectible and a valuable addition to any serious vintage baseball card collection.
