Wonka,

I also have that particular Cigar card. If I'm not mistaken, this is one of about 25 that were discovered not too long ago - all with pretty severe damage. (I think a board member has several of them). Speculation was that they may have been intended as cigar box labels. This is the only card of Mickey Welch that I possess for my HOF set - hence my ID label. Obviously, artwork based upon the Hall cabinet photos, although I have never seen any other team depicted on one of these.
