Argument for why Tobacco insert cards cannot realistically be Grades of 8 or 9
As we all know, T-cards originally served the purpose of Tobacco pack "stiffeners". One, or 2 card(s) were inserted to strengthen the package (usually
containing 10 cigarettes). OLD JUDGE and W.S. KIMBALL in 1887 were early in the game to include these premiums. Kimball enhanced their cards by colorizing them, and illustrating action scenes with their portraits. Very few (if any) of these cards within these soft T-packs could possibly retain their original mint condition. Especially when these cards were removed from their cigarette pack, or due to the subsequent mis-handling of them. Anyhow, I present this argument in light of the current ongoing situation regarding TPG's. One of which is the questionable grading of T-cards (i.e., 8's or 9's)…..when it's suspect (or known) that many of these cards were altered. Personally, I'm not into high Graded cards. Nor would I ever spend the ridiculous big $$$$$ that they are selling for. Anyhow, I welcome your opinions on this subject. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . TED Z T206 Reference . |
