Hi All,
These packs DO NOT CONTAIN T206 OR T205'S CARDS! These packs are from 1916 when George Hill, the advertising strategist, and later President of American Tobacco Co. devised the "Ask Dad" campaign for Sweet Caporal, one of ATC's most popular brands. The only cards inside are themed Ad cards based on the Ask Dad he knows concept. This is just another example of GAI's lack of knowledge in grading Tobacco packs. The 1910 Tax stamp was used until late 1917, so unless there's an overprint, it's nearly impossible to grade a pack, but the Ask Dad Carton solves that problem.
PS This is not the first time I've seen this carton or these packs, they've been around for quite some time. Don't be fooled these packs are worth 100.00 a piece , NOT 1000.00.
Be well Brian Weisner
