With so little card action, I turned to 19th century cigarette packs and redemption coupons. The following is a sample of some of the packs I was able to locate, all being pre-ATC merger (pre-1890) except the A&G Dixie & Old Dominion which date to 1890-1893. I've also accumulated close to 100 redemption coupons with lots of duplicates. I find the coupons to be challenging yet cheap and interesting (help date cards, albums, etc.).
And here are my cards, 3 Newsboys and my lone Old Judge, Pete Conway with an interesting back (Mitchell/Barker) that was later sold by Lipset to Miller:
