Default Why not to buy an old Sweet Caporal pack hoping for a baseball card!!!

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Below is a scan of a T58 Fish card. Atlantic Salmon. With a Sweet Caporal back, I think at least Piedmont was a possible back, too.

I recall reading some time ago that if one (or many, if Bruce is reading) were to open a sealed cigarette package from about 1910, odds were about as good that a T58 fish would be in there as a T206. I think this was in an Old Judge newsletter, but I can't recall precisely where I read that.

Anyway, unless you were lucky enough to get the one card you lacked to complete your set of 100 fish, then you might be disappointed that you didn't get a white border baseball card.
