for three hundred and change. Multiple lot with 2 polar, couple Jack Frost I think and maybe 2 Brownies all unopened hammered around 600.00 in a recent aution. They're out there - not hundreds but quite a few. I've sold 4 or 5. The real key like any unopened pack is to find one with the right attributes. I guess I've seen 15-20 overall and almost every one where the cancel can be discerned - there rests a late 1920's (couple) or later stamping (majority 195?). Sometimes a seller or AH will suffice their description with "1910" stamp and ignore what might be a salient date to the purchaser who thinks there's possibly a card inside. Sometimes ignorance, sometimes deception. At times there is no cancellation or it has faded. Strange how often I've been able to read the factory info but - wait for it - haven't been able to decifer the date. Sometimes the last couple of numbers seem to have fallen into an abyss.
