First, details of the tax stamp are not given in the description, so I am hampered in any attempt to date the pack. However, it appears that GAI has done some thinking and some reforming of the dating of packs on the label. While the dating may still be imperfect, it no longer carries the artificial and deceptive 1909-11 label. The seller is using the same old 'Honus Wagner might be in there' angle, but that's not GAI's fault. I think GAI deserves credit for making this change.

What this also shows is that it not aesthetically wise to have a tobacco pack hermetically sealed. Anyone who has stored an old pack or packs in a ziplock plastic bag knows this. You will end up with a little pile of dark brown dust on the bottom of the bag.
