Tuxedo Cigarettes c. 1912-1914 large size athlete cards

I don't know how often they changed the ads then, but if it's anything like today, the ads could well be issued across a few years.

I would certainly not expect them all to be from the same year.

Lasky got into the film business in 1913, it is very unlikely his card is from before them and is probably somewhat after to be referred to as the wizard of it.

I cannot find evidence for this 1912 claim for McGrath. EDIT: I cannot find any evidence the hobby knew of this card at all before 2023. This makes me doubtful there is an evidentiary basis for this claim.

The 1910 date on the baseballs does not seem to be evidentiary.

Here's another ad, from 1914, with Johnson and some other subjects without cards yet known to me.
