and my question is straight forward and not meant to suggest he is incorrect about the slide and shell. I would assume as well the cards would have been packaged in a S&S. Just wondering whether that is just conjecture or a difinitive conclusion that can be substantiated.... Some things to think about - cards were a slightly later issue than those found in ATC and other brands - were specially issued (if at all) - soft paper packages were used since the 1870's - pirate brand was cheap and extremely popular in the East. Unsure how long the character card production went on - but it apparently went on for some time and a lot of these cards have survived. Not so for the baseball cards. IF they were in packs at all I still believe thay would be found in the traditional S&S but would like to see sometime positive - perhaps an advertisement like the Hindu card or sweet caps S.L.rs coming out of the pack as are known in the hobby.

with unopened material - one sells the sizzle and not the steak.
