Joe_G.The pack in the book is Jay's and is dated Aug 1 1888 while mine is dated Oct 1 1888. Both are 10 count packs and have a white seal that states "REFUSE THIS BOX IF EITHER SEAL IS BROKEN. with a second line that reads "READ BASE BALL NOTICE INSIDE." This is printed in red ink and I believe it makes reference to the cabinet card list that could be found inside (together with a redemption coupon and a single N172). I don't believe 1887 packs containing N172 cards had such notices.
