Default Strange ad piece R305 with R308 wrapper

http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/...x?itemid=30771

The top ad piece is very strange.

The R305 tattoo Orbit cards did not come in the pictured Tattoo Pirate wrapper, they actually do not even fit, they are too wide.

The R308 Baseball have been found in the pirate Tattoo wrapper along with non sports and other sports.

Just mind boggles me that a company would advertise a wrapper to look for at your candy and gum store and advertise cards that you could never get with that particular wrapper.

Seems odd.

To see the actual glascine wrapper that the R305 cards were issued in, visit www.baseballwrappers.com and search tattoo orbit.

Hey Dan
That is a good point. That wrapper you have is neat. I know the sign in the auction sort of implies the R305s came in the packaging but, to be devil's advocate, would the word "with" instead of "in" mean that they might have been given away with but not in the package? Just a thought....and maybe there is an easy reason that isn't possible which I am not thinking of? Neat posters in the auction.

Yea I guess maybe that is a possibility but seems weird they wouldn't have just made their pirate wrappers large enough to hold the R305 if you could pick 1 off the counter in the glasscine envelope when you bought a pack of gum with an R308 card already inside? Seems like a lot for a penny but heck, times have changed a little since then
