Video of Sweet Caporal pack opening containing T206 Jordan...real?

From John Canfield's site: (NOTE: No CLASS A Cigarettes on top of tax stamp). Amazing how tax stamp unglued itself from the inner slide. Note the difference between the top of each tax stamp.

At 1:59 of the video you can actually see the bottom.

Thanks, this is indeed helpful. From the site:

Series of 1917: Appeared on tax stamps from 1917 through 1920. – note: Series of 1917 tax stamps appearing on 10-cigarette count packs did not have a date on it but rather said “Ten” along the bottom border of the tax stamp.

So....looks like this is a 1917-1920 dated Sweet Cap pack that's been incredibly well preserved and re-packed unless the conventional history on tax stamps is wrong. This also seems to jive with the aluminum paper on the inside which apparently wasn't used in the US prior to 1913.

This is 100% FRAUD!!! This jerk should be exposed!!! The rice paper wasn't sealed. Note how when he opened the rice paper with the exacto knife, the left side didn't require any force at all to open the rest of the top fold. (As if it wasn't sealed at all). Deliberately done to deceive!!!

It was like watching a 33 rpm album in 78 rpm mode..
