How can this be? The bottom of the pack looks like a soft pack. The top looks like a slide-shell box with a tax stamp glued on. I suspect fraud.

It looks terrible, and your eyes arent deceiving you. To me, it looks like a softpack, w the stamp maybe appliqued. But, more knowledgable tobacco collectors , post your thoughts.

Hey guys - I actually think this is a legit pack ala the American Beauty 15count packs. (Leon, maybe you can post a picture of the one you own?) SC did release 15 count packages in this time frame in soft packs. That being said - certainly no card inside this one.

I've got this box...has a date stamp of January 1903 on the tax stamp. Anyone know what card series this might have carried? Thanks.

Unfortunately the SC Little Cigars, while neat (and certainly rarer than their cigarette counterparts), did not contain any baseball related issues. I'm unsure if they carried any nonsports.

Thanks, Jon...I'll take it to the other board!
