Item Description
1-7/16x2-5/8". 1909-11 T206 Baseball is called "The Monster" for good reason. It's one of the most widely-collected sets of any era. T206 also contains the single most famous card in the hobby, one recognized even by non-collectors. While most cards are easily obtained, the release has some very scarce options, with 16 back varieties in all, that are led by the nearly-mythical Honus Wagner card.

Robert Edgar Willet played with the Detroit Tigers of the AL (1906-1913) and the St. Louis Terriers of the Federal League (1914-1915). His best season was 1909 when he had a record of 21-10, ranking third in the AL in wins and fifth in winning percentage. In two games of the 1909 World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Willett pitched 7 and 2/3 innings, allowing no runs and three hits.
