1912 tuxedo tobacco cards!!
Posted By: Brian
I attended the annual Cooperstown card show over this weekends induction ceremony in Cooperstown N.Y. and happen to see 6 1912 tuxedo tobacco cards including Mathewson. I was told by the owner that these 6 cards were the only cards in existence and he offered them to me for $50,000 for the set of 6. I dont know much about these and I have never seen them before. Were they the only ones out there? $50,000 a ridiculus price for 6? I am just looking for some input on these tobacco cards and how rare they really are?

Tuxedo never issued a set of cards. The ones that you saw were likely made from cutting up a tuxedo tobacco ad from either a newspaper or magazine then pasted onto a thicker stock. A board memeber kindly posted this ad when these same cards came up for discussion a year ago. The ad contained six players, Walsh, Lajoie, Jennings, Mathewson, Mcgraw, and Zimmerman and it proved without a doubt where these "cards" orginated from.

that they were on ebay a few years ago and went for something under $1,000.00. They were nice as they were the same pictures that appeared in the Tuxedo ads of 1915 to 1917 or so. Can't imagine they are worth anything near 50K.

While I'd like to be proven wrong, I believe that the ads, themselves sharp to look at, are all that Tuxedo produced. There was indeed a thread about these some time ago. still, if you scans, I'd like to see.
