It would be the greatest pack rip in the history of the hobby.

And as Bill O'Reilly once said, "F**k it, do it live!" so collectors around the world can see what, if anything is in there.

We could even organize a live pay-per-viewesque extravaganza (with proceeds going to a charity).

Plus hyping a pack rip like this would get the younger crowd (who love pack rips) interested in vintage cards.

Sounds like it could have all the fun of the GERALDO RIVERA SAFE OPENING.

From the side scan you can see Allen & Ginter branch. I don't think this pack has a card in it. One from the American Tobacco Company would more likely contain a card. Perhaps Jon Canfield can jump in.

Isn't the California Wax-Wing the Honus Wagner of the bird-card collecting community?

Hey, say that 10 times fast...

Haha my roommate would totally do something like that. Last month I bought a nice Wusthof knife set and he accidentally threw away one of the knifes. Who does that?!...Oh the joys of living in a cramped overpriced NYC apartment with two roommates.

I'll throw a $100 in the pot, just $1,500 more to go. ...but it would be a blast to see. Maybe make it a mini "event" at the upcoming National.

I always thought the Allen and Ginter branch was Factory 42, NC and not Factory 25, VA. Therefore, considering the box has the L&M designation, it would have a much better chance holding a white border if it was a Factory 42.

I also predict it has a coupon inside with 10 stale ciggys, with nothing else, not even a fish.

Honestly, I'd pay $50 to see someone open a t206 pack...

We should all pitch in to buy/open it. Whatever the card is we should use it as the new March Madness Trophy

Nothing fishy about the A&G side band... Liggett & Myers was given the former Allen & Ginter plant in Richmond in the breakup and continued, as had the ATC, to refer to it as the Allen & Ginter Branch.
