Default Herpolsheimer's and Xmas - do you remember any of the old bb card brands?
Posted By: Joann

Thanks Barry. The post was a bit self-indulgent, but this time of year I always am thinking about the Herp's cards.

So I'll hijack my own thread and ask everyone this:

Of all of the tobacco brands, caramel brands, 19th Century and even the later issues of the 30's, etc, I have never heard of any of the brands used except Cracker Jacks and the Sporting News (or is it Sporting Life?). Besides those two, Herp's is the only one I have an personal memory of.

Anyone personally remember any of the other brands? Anyone remember smoking Piedmont cigarettes? Or eating Philadelphia caramels? How far back in baseball card history can you go with a personal memory of one of the brands (aside from CJ or SN)? I guess I can get back to 1915 or so with the Herp's cards.

I'll edit the title of the first post to more reflect this question.

Joann
