Show me some 19th Century cards
Posted By: Jerry Spillman
In early 1888 Allen & Ginter commenced inserting The World Champions (N28) cards into their 10 cigarette Richmond Brand Cigarette packs. The promotion was an overwhelming success. Later in 1888 two newly designed World Champions cards were introduced. The replacement (N29) cards were inserted into the 10 cigarette packs and the (N43) cards were inserted into the 20 cigarette packs. All three sets consist of 50 cards in each set.
Shown with the Allen & Ginter 1888 N43 Set is an image of the Richmond Brand cigarette mother pack of these cards and a few tickets (coupons) that were also inserted.
