Pirate back cards
 

Sorry...they aren't baseball! But if you want a sample of a Pirate back, maybe this will suffice. As I was scanning them, I noticed there are two different versions of the back - the word "cigarette" down the side goes in two different directions. Anyway, if you're interested in a trade, let me know. I'm always looking for beater T205/T206 or other baseball...

Take Care,
Geno

Very cool Geno.

If those were baseball players they'd easily be worth 5k apiece!

Still, I might be interested in having a sample back, LMK what you value the least expensive one as (just for a sample type card).

Best,

Trade
 

Scott --

PM me your address and I'll send you one. If you have a beater baseball card in return, then great. If not, don't worry about it...pass something along to somebody else someday...plenty of people have done the same for me!

Take Care,
Geno

Pirate Backs
 

Hello - Very cool cards. I would like some of these for my collection. How many do you have and what value do you put on the lot? I have a few lower grade T205s I would be willing to part with or cash. Thanks, Chris

They are also found with the pack on back being opened at top and the cigarettes shown...

And another

There is also another version that has two Pirate packs on the back, although I don't have any of them anymore. The front of the cards had birds, while the back had a pair of the packs at about half-size.

Hi Geno, very cool cards. My wife is impressed with them, so impressed in fact I'd like to see if we can make a small trade for one or two. I'll send you a PM.

I just PM'ed you - shouldn't be a problem, but I want to let a couple other trades finish up and rescan the remaining ones for you to choose from. I should get back to you later today...

Take Care,
Geno

Update on trades
 

I've made a number of trades since first posting this thread, so I thought I'd put up a scan of the cards I have left in case anybody else is interested...

Take Care,

Magnums
 

Thanks for the scans - what's on the other side of the Magnum one? I don't remember ever seeing that one...

Take Care,

Going by memory, I think they are scenes of school children playing and studying.
