Leon, I think the W555 box may have been the previous year, though my memory has been slipping recently.

With the amount of partying I have done, throughout the years, I am sure your memory is better than mine, Ed. Thanks for the slight correction. Still glad I didn't win it. I remember Corey S (hey Corey) was at a close table to me. He said my mannerisms were saying I shouldn't go higher ....It's that darned collecting addiction.

Very cool cards. They were issued by British American Tobacco circa 1910 probably to US military personnel in China. The date of issuance coincided with Buck Duke’s return to BAT.
