If you ask about a T206, you must explain what in the heck the T206 naming convention comes from. No one here can. I guarantee. Seen many attempts to explain - nobody was serious. Someone, anyone - explain the naming convention please. Please though, explain the T, and why 206, and why.

I believe that info is all in Wikipedia
I believe t stand for tobacco from 20th centurty and N stand for tobacco from Nineteenth century and 206 catalog number in Burdicks book
the rest comes from wiki
The name T206 refers to the catalog designation assigned by Jefferson Burdick in his book The American Card Catalog. It is also known informally as the "White Border" set due to the distinctive white borders surrounding the lithographs on each card.
The T206 set consists of 523 cards. Over 100 of the cards picture minor league players. There are also multiple cards for the same player in different poses, different uniforms, or even with different teams after being traded (since the set was issued over a period of three years). The cards measure 1 7⁄16 by 2 5⁄8 inches (3.7 × 6.7 cm) which is considered by many collectors to be the standard tobacco card size.
Seems like when I sub cards from that era they often get 1 full grade higher than you'd expect, since cards from the turn of the century are graded with a little more leniency than others.

Research Jefferson Burdick. He's the one that created the system.
Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

T-206 is not graded like more modern cards -- that's a fact. Condition is really
in a different league by itself.
If you're on Net54 post it over there and you'll see a totally different response from what you
got here.

I think I might guess a 6(PD) due to the focus issue.

It just looks to me like the guy taking the picture didn't focus it well.
I'd like to see a good pic of this card.
