1910 T212-2 Back slogans
 

http://luckeycards.com/pt212backsmaster.jpgI 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

those slogans were just great !!!!!

wow
 

great collection, Leon!!!
congratulations and thanks for sharing.

So Round, So Firm, So Fully Packed
 

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
