    Here's the B18 I bought for my Senators/Twins type set in an antique store in Montana a few years ago. I got this one and 2 others for $50 or so.

    I'll see if I have scans of the other two...

    Awesome find, Mike! I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven if I found something like that during one of our antiquing trips...

    They were folded (sometimes inside a small envelope) and attached with an adhesive strip to packages of Egyptienne Straights Cigarettes

    I spoke with someone at the last show I attended at BVG and they actually grade these, but I have never seen one graded. I think they only have one on the registry. Most probably get an "Authentic" grade because of the brown edges not being even.

    Mike forgot to mention he had long since smoked the tobacco image


    nice thread, wait until they start grading these!

    I guess there are variations with these as I noticed Stone's Sweeney has different colors than mine. Also, you will see (on the Sweeney) the remnats of the adhesive strip fkw pointed out. I've had these for so long I don't even remember were I got them or how much I bought them for, but they are cool. Have a good day. Doug

    B18 Blankets

    Here is an article I found very good at describing the different color combinations and rarity. The colors are really cool on these and in person they display very well. Price is right too as most can be had for $20-30. Of course HOFers demand more and some of the color combinations can get pricey. The Shoeless Joe Jackson is pretty cool in the b18's but will run you a bit of money
