Consider when the good Senator was a kid, and he had an Old Mill smoking uncle who traveled a bit... might not that uncle buy a few packs of cigarettes as he traveled around, and wouldn't he save those 'foreign' red border cards for his fanatic nephew?
Thank you for the clarification Frank.That makes sense.I would like to see this collection one day.
