I posted a new pick up of a Gypsy Queen carton and since there was a question (hey Joe G) I figure I will do a thread so as not to clutter the August Pickups thread too much. Here are the 2 cartons again. The one on the right is similar in design to the pack shown, which has 1888 printed on the inside (I believe). It has been my belief that the N175 cards came in the pack shown (which came in the box shown). As for dating them I will just put them both at circa 1887.
Pack and card collecting is a lot of fun and the items are quite a bit scarcer, many times, than the cards they are associated with. The cards were made to be collected, not so much the packaging.
