Default Was Honus Wagner really against tobacco ?

Posted By: JimB

He may have been unaware of some of the others like Kottons which apparently were not big seller or were not widely distributed given how few examples remain today. The American Tobacco Company seems to have been upfront with players and asked for their signed permission. At least some players, including Wagner were offered money for the permission. Wagner was offered $10, which he turned down.
