1909-11 T206 Ed Killian (Throwing) SGC 2 Sweet Caporal 150/25

The 1909–1911 T206 Ed Killian baseball trading card is an authentic vintage collectible from the legendary T206 tobacco card series, widely regarded as the most iconic and important baseball card set ever produced. This card features Ed Killian of the Detroit team in a pitching pose, a classic and dynamic image that perfectly captures the style and character of early Major League Baseball during the pre–World War I era.

Issued by the American Tobacco Company, this example displays the Sweet Caporal Series 150 advertising back, an early and highly collectible back variation within the T206 set. The combination of the Detroit player, pitching pose, and Series 150 Sweet Caporal back makes this card an appealing and historically significant piece for tobacco-era collectors.

The card has been professionally authenticated and graded SGC 2 (Good) by Sportscard Guaranty Corporation (SGC), confirming its originality and honest wear consistent with a well-preserved card that is now more than a century old. The grade reflects solid overall integrity, clear imagery, and strong vintage character, making it an accessible example from this celebrated set.
