Tobacco carton labels

[rdwyer]

You brought up the OP. You asked for comments. I have every right to post my opinion. I don't think they were cartons used to distribute T206 related cigarette packs. I think they're something else. Let's hear from the experts and not you, who doesn't know crap about them to begin with. This is a place for learning.

Rich you really are an idiot again which post did I mention anything about T206? If you read the post the experts have spoken about them being real. I asked a question and you quoted a false fact so you Rich you do not know crap.

I SAY AGAIN. I SAID THEY ARE REAL! But they're not cartons used to distribute cigarette packs back in 1909. Deal with it. That's why there not worth much. They're most likely fantasy pieces. Don't be an IDIOT and refuse to accept feedback on your question. No one has disputed anything I've said. except you. I emailed Jon Canfield, let's wait and see how he answers my question.

Mr. Dwyer,

I have to interject. You said they were reproductions in this post. If you would, please disconnect your keyboard. Adults have been talking.

Reproductions/fantasy pieces, but not Cartons. He said they were tobacco carton labels. They are not.

Mr. Dwyer,

Please disconnect your keyboard as I requested. Mr. Canfield has the opinion that they are original tobacco carton labels. My best advice to is an old saying “it is better to be quiet and just look stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”.

Rich I have to feel sorry for you because after dealing with you for the first time there is no way anyone can believe anything you say along with have any respect for you. You can’t even read the post in the thread you are posting in. You need to change hobbies.

I politely disagree. I think they will all turn out to be real and some will be period to our cards and some not. In looking at them more, some of the "labels" in the first post look like flattened cartons and not labels. I would like to see them in hand but I don't have any doubts all are real, at this point. To each their own I guess. I would still like to see them in hand to get a better feel for what they are. But the valuations not being high is because of the demand side of the equation. There is demand it's just not expensive demand . I thought a lot of my tobacciana collection sale, from a few years ago, would go higher but most went for about what I paid. Some of the pieces were unique but still didn't bring more than a few hundred dollars. (and some even less)

I'm a bit confused by the posts but again, the carton labels posted above, in my opinion, are original and span many decades, but some are definately from the teens (Lenox and Tolstoi to name 2 of them). As I mentioned above, I understand most of these came to the hobby from the registration files at the US Patent and Trademark Office. Here is my Tolstoi, for example, that came directly from the gentleman I believe Joe got his from.
