I'm sure it's not real, but is that how the cards were packed back in the day. For some reason I thought they were in the cig box.

Early ads show the card packed between two rows of cigarettes. The card actually added structure to the box. If I'm not mistaken, I think the cardboard insert came first; they started printing images on them later.

It looks like fasteddy is trying to make a fast buck. Anybody can tell the Wagner is a reprint - the borders are too wide.

It appears to be in a GAI holder. I don't know how he got GAI to grade it unless is says reprint on the flip. The funny thing is that he makes no mention of GAI and almost purposely crops out the flip.

Only slickwillie would give me more security.

That's a shame! He ruined a perfectly good reprint.

From the pictures it appears that the seller sprinkled tobacco and dirt on the OUTSIDE of the holder.

How about his other auctions? He has a slabbed '52 Topps Mick graded "Authentic". It looks like it could be an easy 4 or 5. Why would it be graded "A" and not a number if it was that nice?

Then he has another Sweet Caporal pack up for sale. There are two different packs shown. The first picture shows one pack with a Series "A" stamp where the second picture shows a pack with the correct "1910" stamp.

Hope everyone is keeping warm out there.
