Default Hey guys

These SWEET CAPORAL 350- 460 Factory #30 cards should NOT be classified as "No Prints"....just because they were never inserted into Sweet Cap cigarette packs.

American Lithographic printed many sheets of them. They were originally destined to be shipped to Factory #30 in New York. The anticipated divestiture of American
Tobacco Co. (circa 1911) transferred Sweet Caporal cigarette production to Durham, NC (Factory #42). Federal law required the back advertisements on these cards
be overprinted with "Factory #42".

I don't consider these cards as "scraps"......these cards are legit......just never issued.
