Hi Dewey,
Great Pickup, I'm sure we never had that one. Good seeing you in San Leandro last week,
Andy

Thanks Andy! Nice to see you at the show last week too. Hopefully I'll see you in June!

Very nice piece!

I was happy when I picked up 52 Topps copy as I was chasing a decent looking one for a while.

Went to a local auction today and loaded my van full of tobacco tins, cigarette packs and ephemera. These are some of the items I think are of interest to the member here. The Helmar and Murad are still sealed...all of the other packs are still full of cigarettes, but not sealed. The matchbox is Capadura Cigars, I have seen many of the trade cards, but have never seen this matchbox before. The only other Yale cigar box I can find sold in a Heritage auction. This one is in much better shape than that one.

Wow Dan! Great stuff. Don't tease...tell us a little about this auction and the sale. (also is the $1 in the background for scale? )

Nice score Dan. Too bad those aren't 1970 Orioles buttons. Those are probably worth more though.

It was a local auction that was all cigar tins and boxes, cigarette packs, ephemera and World's Fair memorabilia. the Mets pins were out of place.

I think I got about 50 tins, 150 cigarette packs and probably 30 flats full of 1939 and 1964 New York Worlds Fair items. I filled up my van.

The auction company already removed the page, but here is a cached version of the sale I found on google.

edited to add: The dollar I actually do use in my ebay auctions for scale.

Dan, my Murad tin is in 'slightly' worse condition....but I am willing to sell it for only $223,000.
