TETLOW COLLEGE GIRL SERIES PRINCETON BASKETBALL (U.S.A.)
The front of this example is in fantastic condition, the low grade is due to the tape residue and discoloring on the back. There is a debate whether or not this is the first Basketball card produced or if that honor belongs to the Murad Williams College card released in 1909-10. Regardless of where you stand on that, this is still an awesome early Basketball collectible.
This College Girl Series consisted of 4 cards, all depicting various sports. While Princeton isn't named on the Basketball card, the pennant is in Princeton colors and the other 3 cards (Penn, Harvard, Yale) are all Ivy League with their appropriate school colors, so Princeton is assumed. Also pictured is the original pack that the College Girl Sports Series were initially distributed in.
