Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>Recall this thread from back in 2006. Someone had cut out the pictures shown by Ted above and pasted them to cardboard and sizing to appear as "cards" and was selling them as Tuxedo Tocacco cards. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1154476089/Re-+1912+tuxedo+tobacco+cards%21%21" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1154476089/Re-+1912+tuxedo+tobacco+cards%21%21</a>

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>. . . that with the volume of baseball related advertising that Tuxedo did in the T-card era they never issued insert cards.<br /><br />Leon, I also created Walter Johnson and J.J. McGraw Tuxedo fantasies, I printed a few of each in T-card size.
