1912 C46 Imperial Tobacco from Canada. They are fairly scarce, but not in high demand. I think they are one of the more attractive PreWar Tobacco set. There are 90 cards in the set, almost all are common players, except 2 Hall of Famers (Joe Kelley and Iron Arm McGinnity), and 1919 Black Sox Chick Gandil. Most of the common players in VG-EX condition sell for $15-$30, HOFers, $75-$200.

I saw them on ebay and they looked pretty cool (and in my price range!), thanks for the info

It is a real nice set,i bought one awhile back as a type card and plan on collecting the set once i finish my current one.You dont see them too often on ebay.When i do i usually bid just to watch them,hoping to pick some up cheap but it hasnt happened yet. I think just the fact that theres so many obscure players keeps the price down but as far as design goes i rank them right up there with any vintage set. Nice type card to have even if you dont want to collect the whole set

I've been wanting a McGinnity for about 10 years, especially since there's something wrong with my T206 (there's no shading in it). Finally got a Fan Craze, so i sort of forgot about them--they tend to be expensive.
