Here we go again (Obaks pack)

David, I would have to disagree with the "intelligent" comment in your last post. I don't think that anybody who knows what they are talking about would believe that there is a Baseball card in this pack.

Let me break this down for Adam and the people who are having a hard time with the description.

"Early Obak Cigarettes Complete Unopened Box BASEBALL."

Above is the title, full of key words to show up in the ebay seach engine. This is ebay 101 for the novice out there. "Early" means that it is not a modern pack, "Obak" is the brand, "Cigarettes" are what the pack contained. "complete" means that they are all there. "Unopened" means that the seal is not broken. "Box" is what houses the cigarettes and "Baseball" is there so that the items shows up in a search engine.


"Full unopened box of Obak Cigarettes."

That means that they are all there, the box is complete with the unbroken tax stamp.

"The tax stamp on top of the box is unbroken."

There are not any rips and the stamp is sealed to the box.

"Early packages of Obak Cigarettes contained Baseball Tobacco
Cards that featured players from the Pacific Coast League and Northwest
League."

For this I refer you to page 1409-1411 in the 2003 Standard Catalog (It is he newest version I have sitting around). However if what I have written in the item description is too complex, then the description in the standard catalog will be way over your head.


"This box is NM and super clean."

NM stands for Near Mint and "clean" is a term used to describe items that have little to no flaws.


"Add $6 for shipping.'

Don't add $5, don't add $7.



If I had to take the time to break down item descriptions like this for all of the Adam's out there, I would never get any work done.

I have NEVER intentionally mis-represented and item that I have sold and Adams comment that I should be sued is an attack on my business practices and ethics. Anybody who has met me in person will tell you that I am very friendly and easy to talk too, but I have a very low tolerance for bullsh*t, and as far as I am concerned, this certainly falls into the bullsh*t category.
