Drumhead Cigarettes
 
Any info on these? All I know is what I read in Seconds Out, which wasn't much.

It's definitely much tougher then the similar Odgens Set.

Don't know much else about them.

Like all things, depends on the set. But I'm assuming you're talking about Pugilists In Action? That would be the John Player & Sons version, as opposed to the Ogdens.

If so, they're a little tougher than Ogdens but not much. I'd say 60/40. They're not as widespread as the Churchman Boxing Personalities by any stretch but I wouldn't call them rare or scarce. I haven't seen any market favoring for high grade examples (NM-MT) as compared to the Ogdens and am not sure they warrant one.

Released in 1928 with what appears to be a solitary print run (unlike the '38 Churchmans that were released over the course of a couple of years).

Anything specific you were wondering about?

I always felt like the Drumheads were at least 5x more rare than the ogdens but maybe that's not the case. Their value in the UK is only about 10% higher than the Ogden's version and they are considered "Overseas" issues for the Player brand.
