1910 T212-2 Back slogans

I just got around to cataloging my Obak slogan run from the 1910 series, 175 subjects only, so figured I would post them. It's sort of a neat subset and is very cheap to finish......and there are only a few toughies. All but 2-3 of these came from a find I had from about 4-5 yrs ago....Most are in poor to good condition which I don't mind at all...regards

I like "no paste used." Did they put paste in cigarettes?

HIGH QUALITY slogan and high quality post. I love all those different backs.

favorite- "Surpass Imagination"

The "Clean-Wholesome" is a far cry from today's surgeon general's warning

Very neat array of Obak backs, Leon. Dumb question: do these 35 cards comprise the whole run of Obak slogans?

David,

Yes, it does. The below link is a good resource for which slogans can be found with each player's card:

I just checked my set and I have all 35 backs. Some of them are much tougher than others to obtain - I only have one example of "The Story in Smoking", while I have 20 or so of other backs.

The link above to the page showing the front/back combinations hints at a 1911 Obak back variation -- can anyone share what that is?

Thanks,
Andy
