I found the above information in the American Card Catalog (ACC), the book "American Tobacco Cards" by Robert Forbes and Terence Mitchell, and The Sports Collectors Bible by Bert Sugar.

This is a very good overview by Steve. Burdick wasn't a "baseball guy", at all. The Forbes/Mitchell non-sport book should be in every collector's library. It has an scholarly review of the tobacco companies and their card issues, plus it's endlessly interesting. You can even get a
free PDF copy courtesy of the authors and the non-sports forum. Yeah, I wrote
