These don't surface very often! Graded 20 Fair 1.5 by SGC. One of the legendary tobacco card rarities is found with the offered 1912 T207 Brown Background Louis Lowdermilk with a Red Cycle advertising back. The T207 Lowdermilk has long been recognized as the key rarity in the designation as the original 1930s American Card Catalog notated it as being more valuable than any other individual card in the set. (At that time, the value was listed at a dollar while T206 Wagner was listed at fifty dollars). The crease-free obverse presents (VG-EX) while a portion of the reverse has sustained mild paper loss. Just locating an authentic Lowdermilk example, let alone an example with the Red Cycle reverse is monumental. One of only 6 total specimens judged by the third-party authenticator.
