brian pI definitely noticed those Obaks from a few weeks ago, but did not bid on any. I too thought that possibly some might have been trimmed, and even more that they had been lightened, either the cards themselves or the scans. Have you given these cards the sniff test?
Speaking of sniffing, as far as the "Delicate Aromatic" slogan, it is one of the less common ones, as the Jeff O. article in the VCBC #26 clearly illustrates, but I never realized that it was that uncommon--I have three, and I ain't the king of Obaks, more like an Obak serf with pretensions toward the throne. The one the article really points out, and the one I have encountered others searching for, is the "Just Right" slogan. For the non-150 series collector like myself, I have found the following to also be difficult to come by: "Immensly Popular", "Instantly Popular", "Mais Paper Wrapper", and "The Story in the Smoking".
