Really?

I was having a slight problem with the frequent appearance of the words "Honus Wagner" and "T206" as well as the date "1909-11" on the GAI label. How can this be if it is a Sweet Caporal pack and there is no T206 factory designation specified? Are we to assume that either the grading company or the seller (or perhaps both) are psychic?

GAI has recently graded at least two of these conveniently labeled "T206 era" cigarette packs. This is the latter of the two (serial numbers 10043898 & 10037732). It is good to see that GAI expertise is reaching a new pinnacle of vintage ephemeral excellence.
