Description
This 1909-11 T206 Red Ames card is graded SGC 1.5. It is 117 years old.
El Principe de Gales (“The Prince of Wales”) was a Cuban-market cigarette brand, and its ornate back is one of the tougher T206 reverses. Ames, a right-hander for the Giants, threw a no-hit Opening Day start through nine innings in 1909 — and famously lost it in extras.
