I thought I would share, as some here may find this interesting. A member over on Net54 posted yesterday that he purchased a lot of 19th century tobacco products. included in the lot was a pack of Old Judge cigarettes with the card still intact!!

speculation is that might be the only one left. he has not removed the card to see player is.

George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    i'm sure they could use a CT Scan to see just who it is.

    that is correct. in fact, someone on that thread has already mentioned that. as of now, the owner said he is going to keep the card a mystery.

    to add, the seal on the top of the box is broken. you can actually see the top of the card if you look down into the pack. i assume he could very carefully pull it out just enough to see the player.

    there it is Mike. you can see the very top of the card where the pack is opened. the buyer said it is wrapped in some sort of an advertisement i believe he said.

    do you think that maybe someone has already pulled the card out to see who it is and maybe put the card back. maybe that is the reason why the top of the pack is opened. i am probably reaching with opinion.

    For sure someone in the last 100 years looked at that card and put it back. Cmon.
