Thanks for sharing Richard. My wife works for Philip Morris and I was actually able to tell her a few things about the companies history that she didn't know.

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.
