John J. Anderson

John J. Anderson (1873 – 1949). He was a switch-hitter who threw right-handed. The card identifies him with the Chicago White Sox of the American League. His card presence in this catalog is on the T204 Ramly tobacco issue of 1909, distributed by the Mentor Cigarette Company and recognizable by its ornate gold-bordered frames. Tobacco and caramel issues of this period circulated as advertising premiums rather than dedicated trading cards, and the subject's inclusion in the catalog reflects his standing within the rosters documented by the issuing manufacturers of the day.
