I was lucky enough to find a sheet of 18 tobacco cards at a Tristar show in KC. The dealer had them advertised at t206s. He wanted $5 each. These were in P-F condition so for $5 I thought it was a good deal. I negotiated down to $50 plus three $10 vouchers from collectionmonster.com. I didnt think I could go wrong considering there was 2 Crawfords and 2 Bakers in the group. Well, the 18 turned into 20 when I got home because 2 were doubled up in the pages and it turned out these were not t206s, but kottons, minos, victorys, and coupon reverses. I think I made like 3000% on that investment. Ironically, it was the only show I have attended in the last 5 years.
