Not sure if anyone from Legendary still reads the board, but the Sweet Caporal pack being described as "Circa 1910s" is most certainly not. It's actually closer to 1920-25 (and at least 1918 based on the tax stamp).

So, a description that reads "we can only assume that a trading card is safely entombed inside as well, though whether it pictures a bird, fish, flag or baseball player is anyone’s guess" is very misleading.

Not trying to single Legendary out here, but they didn't do any diligence on this lot. I'd also be happy to scan the appropriate pages from Springer's Cinderella Stamps guide if they would like verification of tax stamp date.
