Red Man Tobacco Collectors

There may be thread on here somewhere I'm missing, I apologize. I did a search and found some from 2010 and earlier.
Does anyone on here enjoy collecting these? I love the Red Man issues--although I acknowledge some of their unsigned omissions. It seems like relatively few collect them so they don't appear in high grade too often in auction format. Have you found this to be the case? Post your pics of your favorite Red Man. Love to see 'em!

    I"ve got the 4 sets, plus a few caps and this pack. They kinda missed the mark on building the suspense of who you are going to get when you buy a pack of chew. I love the artwork on this issue.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    In some years. Others the card is turned inward, and instead of clear cello has a translucent wax wrapper.
    I used to have a few packs, but they were so fragile I just kept one, can't imagine they'll last very much longer.

    Oversized, nice vintage artwork, condition sensitive. What not to like? I've got a 1/2 dozen Indians from those sets.

    That pack has one of my 3 favorite cards!!!!! I love the Gilliam, Joe Black and Ed Mathews. I really have to buy me a pack. I've never owned an actual pack of Red Man with a card. I've seen them at shows, but I'm always hunting larger ads or cards at shows and the pack is never in that budget.

    Any Red Man tobacco pack experts here? I came across 7 or 8 packs of Red Man tobacco packs, they weren't the one packed with baseball card on the outside but the my packs all look different in a way. I would like to see anyone collect those variations of Red Man packs.
