This is a rare "Cycle back" card which represents only 1% of all the 16 tobacco backs produced with 38 different variations. It is in a Very Good-Excellent condition recent grade of PSA 4. There have only been 16 of these cards graded by PSA, and this is a "Pop 3" card, meaning there are only 2 of these cards graded higher...they are a 4.5 and a 5. The exact same card in a 4.5 sold at auction for $11,400 in April of 2022, and the market for these cards has increased significantly on the past few years. These cards are rare and only increase in value. This card is a great investment and won't last long.
