T-206 and the Tobacco Cos.

Posted By: peter chao

By all accounts, the 3 years the tobacco cos. got together and advertised by issuing T-206s as a promotion were very successful. In the present day it would be impossible to have such a venture because of the anti-trust laws.

Since American Tobacco Co. was a heavyweight back then, I suppose they were the ringleader, but did the other tobacco cos. think that this was a great advertising idea? Also, did MLB hesitate in endorsing cigarettes?
