T215 oriental characters/OT
We have talked about T215 Pirate cards here before . The baseball cards most of us will never own . I have been collecting the Oriental character cards for a long time ... And today I came across these and was surprised when I flipped them over .
Has anyone seen or heard of these ? Sorry I'm having trouble getting a scan up...the back says Eagle Bird Cigarettes. Last edited by ullmandds; 01-03-2016 at 05:59 PM.

my question might be
WHY are you collecting the character cards
 I'm all for it BTW! My world tobacco index is packed but not far away. Would you like me to find it?

Eagle Bird
Eagle Bird was a British American Tobacco Co brand that was issued in China and Siam. It looks like they made around 20 sets, including Birds, Warriors, Cock Fighting and others, between 1909 and 1929. Most of the singles book anywhere from a buck to 3 bucks. The highest prices are for the Cock Fighting cards. Around $12-15 each.

neat
early clean-up hitter with lumber in hand. BTW - not too sure if you were inclined and had the money if you could get one of the BB guys anyway.

Why are all of the known Pirate T215 baseball cards in such terrific shape? Were they all part of the same find?

couple/three good threads here in the past
about them. After all 90+ cards = nearly one MILLION dollars. Short answer is yes - 99% from the same source. As to whether they were actually issued - matter of debate :-) I had 2/3 opportunities to buy one not part of that over the pond load - Martin Murray and Alan Haegar.....
