Default Anyone Heard of c1880 Old Pop Smith Tobacco Tin with Crossed Baseball Bats?

Posted By: CarltonHendricks

I wonder if there will come a time the CHYP, (which I've always understood to mean Columbia, Harvard, Yale Princeton) catches fire and goes for big money. It just closed in that eBay auction for $336.00., which is nothing compared to it's quality. I remember the first one I saw was 20 years ago in a Leland's for sale ad...back when Josh ran the ads for them in SCD. I recall calling him on the pay phone at work once to get him to fax me the list before it got published, but he siad it wouldn't be fair.

Bt the way, I found a photo of the Handsome Dan tin,

it's in an old line up of my tins seen above, at bottom right. I've since had to take it out as I've gotten more sports related ones. If you want to see some of the world's best tins, see my Tins Page linked below.
