Default t206 old mill ad

Posted By: Scot Reader (ebay: sreader3)


It appears that the Hindu and Old Mill packs with southern leaguers had two cards each. The top card in the pack shown in the above Old Mill ad from the Atlanta Constitution looks like Juan Viola (Violat). Hindu packs also seem to have had two cards. Lipset's Encyclopedia mentions a Hindu ad in a New Orleans paper stating that there were “2 PICTURES of Southern League Players in Every Box.” Also, based on the American Tobacco Company letter at page 146 of the November 2005 Sports Market Report, it seems that packs of Tolstoi included one card of a baseball subject and one card of a non-baseball subject—-either an athlete from another sport or a military subject.
