I figured I would just post them, so not to reveal where they were being auctioned. (You have to look yourself to find the auctions) If I violated copyright, it's only because I didn't want to disclose the auctions.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>It's a little blurry, but does the Hindu ad read "Two ballplayers" in each box? It was always my understanding that the packs had more than one card.

Posted By: <b>joe brennan</b><p>The ad does say 2 ball players in each box. The Hidu cigarette box shows the tops of 2 cards, one a portrait and the other an action shot.<br /> <br />Edit to add the Old Mill box actually shows 3 cards. The ad reads "Baseball pictures and a valuable coupon in each box."<br /><br />They almost had the ad right. Shoulda read, "Valubale Baseball pictures and an expired coupon in each box."<br /><br />People said it was a million dollar wound. But the government must keep that money, cause I ain't never seen a penny of it.

Posted By: <b>PC</b><p>The top card sticking out of the Hindu pack in the ad appears to be Rube Waddell (throwing). Not sure who is on the portrait card.

Posted By: <b>PC</b><p>Comparing Dooin and Bender -- I think it is Bender, although Dooin is a good guess.

Posted By: <b>Hal</b><p>It's Dooin - Lew Lipset's Encyclopedia mentions and shows a picture of the ad in the article on T206, and the T206 Museum website mentions it as well.
