I watched this tobacco pouch end tonight on eBay for $178.50....It's a pretty rare one.

I got an example in a Feb 2012 Hunt auction for $222.00 plus buyers premium.....so I guess around $250.00 total....I don't feel too bad $178.00 is within striking distance anyway...The eBay seller had it only under:
Collectibles > Tobacciana > Other
And the title was pretty weak for discovery by antique football collectors:
"Early 20thc Unopened TOBACCO PACKAGE Collection-RAH RAH Brand FOOTBALL Design"
Had the word "antique" been in the title it may well have took off past my $222.00

Yes- the lack of key words probably held the price down.

Plus, you'll never know what the winner's snipe/ceiling bid amount was. It could have been over $400, and perhaps no under-bidder to push him any higher.
