Posted By: <b>Richard Dwyer</b><p>It's an unopened box. Might contain a NM T215. Owner claims 1 out of 5 packs that they owned did contain a NM T215. Second box had a Asian Warrior card. Other 3 boxes weren't opened. Unclear whether or not his box has a factory number, etc., or what tax stamp says or even exists.

Posted By: <b>Jon Canfield</b><p>There would be no tax stamp on this container as it was issued to American service men in England.<br /><br />Edit: I should also mention that I find it hard to believe that 1 pack contained a T-215 and another, a Warrior card. I am not trying to discredit anyone at all, however I believe that the T-215's and the other series (warriors, girls, etc) are from entirely different series and different years, although they have similar backs. Also, I believe the sizes are different. So, if one was to discover 5 unopened packs, what are the chances that the packs were from different years and different issues (to contain the different card claimed?). I have been told by Mr. Shaw that that the Baseball cards were only packaged for the servicemen, and the other issues were for the general public. This means that some "special" packs were mixed in with regular packs in this 5 pack discovery. Finally, an unopened T-215 pack has never been heard of - nearly impossible to date if not impossible, and considering Pirate manufactured cigarettes well into the 1950's using the same paper pack design, I just don't believe it to be so.
