Anyone collecting C46 Imperial Tobacco

hotmush

I recently found out this was the only tobacco release for baseball in Canada.
It's a 1911 90-card set of International League players.
Anyone collecting it?
I'm thinking about starting...
Any advice on collecting tobacco cards?

I have 2 low-grade cards from the set. You'll find them semi-regularly on eBay (usually just a couple, but occasionally some dealer lists a bunch).

Most are commons, but the big interest is in the 2 HOFers (Kelley and McGinnity) and Chick Gandil (Black Sox). Other than T206 minor leaguers and some of the Obak sets, I'd consider these to be the most available minor leaguer tobacco cards.

You'll also see these on the tables of most pre-war specialists at any sizable show.

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear they're not that hard to find. I perhaps may start a very low-grade set.
Thanks again,
