The T205 Gold Border set is one of the most underrated tobacco issues in the hobby. Issued in 1911, the set features 208 cards with stunning gold border lithography and includes 25 Hall of Famers — 30 when counting all variations — among them Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Honus Wagner, and Cy Young. Compared to the T206 White Border set, T205 offers exceptional value: a full Hall of Fame run in VG condition can be assembled for around $15,000, making it one of the most accessible HOF sets in the hobby. Below are the most valuable T205 cards currently listed on eBay.
