Posted By: BrianThe factory its from is the hardest american beauty back to obtain being from factory 42. The tax stamp is right and the pack size looks about right. I couldnt figure out why it didnt go for more money. Other packs i bid on in the past containg sweet caporal or piedmont have brouth in the 1,000-2,000 range. So who knows, but I am happy with it.

Posted By: James GalloI hope I didn't get the last thread locked??? I was extremely happy to get this key card and add it to my set. <img src="http://www.thetoyheaven.com/images/items/cjmathewsonfront.jpg"> I got this baby and it started me down the path of another set <img src="http://www.thetoyheaven.com/images/items/bbc1909jacksonfront.jpg"> I think these sets are enough for me right now, although I am close on the 1915 CJ set, I have to upgrade some of the really beat cards. Man I missed cards a lot. Tons of great stuff shown above. James Gallo James- you are sort of new but no, you didn't get the last thread locked. At about 50 posts we start new ones due to the download times of all of the scans...great cards you have here.... moderator dude aka leon

Posted By: peter ullmanI don't know anything about cig packs...BUT...I thought i saw something about that pack being a candy cig pack or something? apparently am beauty issued candy cig's around the same time as the real cigs were issued with cards. I may be totally wrong here but i'm pretty sure someone pointed this out and that there was no chance of a card being in there? Just what I thought I remember reading...somewhere! pete in mn

Posted By: Daniel BrettaYou may be thinking of Sweet Caporal Pete. The American Beauty pack above is definitely a Cigarette pack.

Posted By: Jon CanfieldAlthough that pack is awesome - it unfortunately will not have a card. The cards were issued in the slide and shell versions of the AB packs.

Posted By: BrianDoes anyone have any pics of an american beauty pack that is hard shelled and contains a card? This is the first one i have seen so who knows, but I will find out.

Posted By: Jon CanfieldBrian, Here are scans of my pack. I wasn't going to post this yet since I just purchased it and do not have it in hand yet but I have a mint, unopened AB pack - 1903 tax stamp with a '09 overprint from December - corresponding factory number from the T-206 issue - this is the kind of pack that would have had a card in it. Does this one? Possibly but unopened packs that do contain a card are so rare, the chances are negligable. When I get the pack in hand, I was going to do some more research on it, especially in light of Scot's article on the possible distribution of the 350 series (AB series). I purchased this pack via a private transaction last week. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1145930636.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1145930647.JPG"> I have seen three AB slide and shells. One sold a few years back in an Mastro auction - empty and pretty beat up - but the first I had seen offered. One full pack sold a little while back on eBay and then I purchased this one privately last week. I believe there is a fourth floating around but haven't confirmed. I'm sure there are a couple more too, but next to the Broadleaf and the Uzits - these are the rarest T-206 packs to get. AB's in slide and shell configurations are unheard of. As for your pack - there was a find of 6 "soft" 15 cig packs this summer in New Jersey. All were housed inside a cigar box. I am 99% positive your pack came from that find. I believe a few other packs from that find of 6 were sold to members of this board - our esteemed leader Leon included. [Lastly, I should mention AB cards came in 10 count cig packs.] Edited to ad: This was the pack that sold in Mastro's auction in 2004 I believe. This was the first time I had seen a 10 count AB slide and shell for sale publically or privately. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1145931208.JPG">

Posted By: BrianWell so there is no chance that this pack would contain a card? If that is the case then i probably over paid for it but i had never seen and American beauty pack and i bouht on impulse. thanks for the help!

Posted By: Jon CanfieldBrian - def did NOT overpay. Any type of AB packs are rare. In fact, I remember some of that group of 6 selling for over $1000. Nice pick up! Jim - I'll let you know if I sell!

Posted By: Scot Reader Hi Jon, My publication indicates that packaging/distribution of AB backs began in June/July 1910. This bit of information came from a March 2001 article by Art Martineau and Doug Allen in VCBC #26 entitled "T206 The First Century." That article states: "Packaging of [American Beauty] backs began on June 14, 1910, and the distribution began on July 3, 1910." Not sure where Art and Doug got these dates. You might give Art a shout. Scot

Posted By: Michelle WiseAppreciate the compliment. A friend of mine was looking for a particular card on ebay, and typed in "honus wagner psa", and this just so happened to pop up. He went ahead and bought it for me as an early birthday gift.

Posted By: James FeaginThanks! I'm not a set collector, so I just pick up cards that are unique, have great color, reasonable priced, and appeal to me. These cards fit the bill.
