This is an example phot of the sealed pack i am buying...but my pack is perfect and sealed. This will go along with my other sealed baseball memro stuff. Going back today to complete the trade.
I love seeing items like this . I went to a show recently , in Westminster MD, and saw some great old items . There were Reach guides from the 20's , in great shape , but price so high , I actually laughed at the guy .
Then there was some " Vintage " 90's baseball sets for $ 100's of dollars . I felt I had stepped into some type of Fantasy League Antique Show , where the values of the " Star " cards were still in projection mode . I still love going , just to see the stuff I'd love to own , the stuff I used to own , the stuff I'm glad I don't own . ----- Sonny

Always liked these packs. They were manufactured beginning in the late 1880s (black and white graphics) and in near continuous production until the 1970s. Here is one of the more unique Home Run related cigarette items I've come across... this dates to the mid-1960s:
These 3 are owned by Carlton Hendricks (from his website):
The first pictured appears to be late 1890s-1903 to me, the middle is the late 1880s style I spoke about before, and the last in a 1950-60s version.

Do these have one of those T209 or whatever cards in them ? - Had to ask - excuse the ignorance. If so - that tobacco would be trashed by now if I owned it - if not is there proper vintage cigar or other PSA type encasement for those ?
