Default Unbelievable! (Sweet Caporal cigarette box)

I think this auction was with stolen scans. All of these scans have appeared on their own in different auctions so I don't feel this seller actually had the pack. Look at the scan in the GAI case, it has no visable tax stamp yet the photo with the carton does have a visable tax stamp. Also, one picture shows the rice wrapping, another doesn't. Furthermore, GAI isn't 100% wrong. If you look at the GAI encapsulated pack, you don't see a tax stamp. 1909 tax stamps were often put onto the reverse of the pack and the encapsulated pack may be correct. secondly, the pack picture that shows the tax stamp is from 1917, not the 20's.
