Default 1888 Scraps "Tobacco" ? Y95

Posted By: barrysloate

Good question, tougher answer. For one, the label incorrectly refers to the die cut as Scrapp Tobacco, but no tobacco product was involved here. The "Y" designation is also tricky, as there are no other "Y" cards known in the baseball hobby. Finally, Rob Lifson has claimed that the term "Scrapps" was coined by him and stuck. If Rob is reading this, maybe he could shed more light. I know I haven't answered your question, just sharing what I know about them.
