T200's, also known as Fatima Team Cards, were a type of tobacco trading card. They were issued in 1913 by the Liggett & Myers (L&M) tobacco company and featured photos of professional baseball teams. The ‘T200’ designation comes from the American Card Catalogue, an authoritative guide to trading cards issued prior to 1951. (In other words, before the Topps company began to dominate the industry.) The set features a total of 13 cards measuring 2-5/8 inches x 4-3/4 inches. The 369 players pictured include a number of Hall of Famers, such as Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, and Tris Speaker.

Like other tobacco sets, such as the famous T205 and T206 issues, T200's were not numbered. Checklists generally list the cards alphabetically by the team.
