If you're referring to the t206's they were likely all american beautys...which "are" trimmed by their nature!

It also would be cool to know how many t205 AB's there were?

So many cigarette cards were donated to the WW1 paper drive by patriotic Americans that it always is surprising that these keep popping up.
Looks like T202s, T205s and T206s only....

Forget the baseball cards. The painting of the early Yankees baseball crowd is the best item on this episode!

Whoa! I didn't think the cards could have been that fabulous when I posted about the painting.

Would like to watch that episode. When will it air next? Their show might get many old collections out in the open by family members now. Another question would be is it better to get the entire collection graded and labeled as somekind of "find" ????

Heavy sigh, my Mother always told me about my Great-Grandfather who lived into his 90's and smoked a pack of cigarettes a day. Didn't save any cards...

the painting is very cool...but is unlikely to be a depiction of yankee stadium...perhaps when the yanks played at the polo grounds?
