UZIT and Carolina Brights
 
Posted By: <b>JamesWalkerJr</b><p>Was wondering if these two brands were used on any other tobacco releases (non-sport or sport).<BR><BR>Only set I know of is the T206 set.<BR><BR>Is there a book that lists all the "T" Series cards and what backs can be found?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>James Walker, Jr.<BR>

UZIT and Carolina Brights
 
Posted By: <b>ty_cobb</b><p>The T206 Uzits were packaged with T80 Uzit<BR>military series cards. When you bought a Uzit pack<BR>you got 1 baseball card and 1 military card.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>My first reaction was that if that was case with Uzit, then why do I see so many more miltary cards than baseball players, but I think that can be attributed to the fact that once baseball collectors get them, they seldom let them go.<BR><BR>Jay

UZIT and Carolina Brights
 
Posted By: <b>ty_cobb</b><p>In the case of the T206 Uzit brand, it was issued in <BR>1911, and the military cards specifically March 18th.<BR>I would say it is as equally rare as the baseball cards. <BR>T80 brands include Tolstoi (should be less quantities<BR>than ball players as they were issued Feb. 18,1911),<BR>Uzit, Lenox, and the near impossible Cairo Monopol. <BR>In his book American Tobacco cards Bob Forbes alludes<BR>to T80 Old Mill backs, but there is no pictorial <BR>evidence.<BR><BR>Besides T206 Carolina Brights, they appear on only<BR>one other issue, , a 12 card set of nursery rhymes<BR>known as T91. The large,colorful ad back of <BR>Carolina Brights was distributed at the 1907 <BR>Jamestown Exposition commemorating the 300th <BR>anniversary of the Jamestown Va settlment. At that<BR>time Carolina Brights appear to be a brand of the<BR>Wells-Whitehead Tobacco Co. (An ATC subsidiary.)
