1910 Freeman Cigar Co. Honus Wagner
 
I was digging through the Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards when I found this interesting set of Wagner tobacco cards

So I started to dig.

Only 5 examples have been graded by PSA/SGC, and there are 5 variations, am I reading that right?

I found photos of 3 via the VCP app. Looks like they haven’t sold in quite some time. Any chance a board member here owns one?

Very cool set of one of the GOATs!

well
 
you do realize they are not cards but:
l
cigar box inner label
cigar box outer label
cigar box nail tag (likely - unaware of example size)

A friend has 2 examples of the cigar band which is quite rare and expensive

There are also a couple of advertising items but none are cards :-)

+1. Very neat looking but don't have the wider collecting appeal of cards. Still awesome!
