Default Tobacco history

Posted By: Marty Ogelvie

Thanks for sharing.. good stuff..

Mystery solved:

1909: SPORTS: Baseball great Honus Wagner orders American Tobacco Company take his picture off their "Sweet Caporal" cigarette packs, fearing they would lead children to smoke. The shortage makes the Honus Wagner card the most valuable of all time, worth close to $500,000.
