Mario Ramos

The 2002 Topps T206 Mario Ramos #285 is part of Topps' modern homage to the legendary 1909–1911 T206 tobacco card set. Released in 2002, this card brings the classic T206 aesthetic—featuring vintage-style borders, period photography, and ornamental design elements—to contemporary baseball players. Mario Ramos, a utility infielder for the Texas Rangers, appears on card #285 within this nostalgic set. T206 revival cards appeal to collectors interested in both vintage design and early 2000s baseball history. The 2002 Topps T206 series bridges the gap between classic card aesthetics and modern player documentation, making it attractive to those who appreciate retro styling without the extreme scarcity of original T206 tobacco cards. Collectors pursuing complete T206 sets, Rangers team sets, or 2002 baseball card collections often seek this card to round out their holdings. Whether you're building a thematic collection around vintage-inspired designs or documenting Rangers roster history from that era, the Ramos #285 offers authentic period charm and straightforward collecting appeal.
