Default "perfection-challenged" old tobacco cards

Posted By: petecld

In the past I have seen the E96 Lajoie "proof" SGC graded. It was on paper stock and offered as a "proof" but I just didn't see it. Quality was no better then the issued cards and the 4 figure asking price put it out of my gambling budget. Thanks to an ebay auction we know they that came from a kid's school notebook cover so I'm glad I passed on it.

The owner of the notebook also owns a few other single cards of E96s on paper stock. It seems likely there were a series of notebook covers that used the Philadelphia caramel card art. I think that is where all of these paper stock versions came from. Tbob may have the one exception. ???

As for an advertising poster - possible, but speculation at this point. Hopefully one will be found. I don't know of one existing. That would one piece I think I would meet the reserve on.
