Uncovered the mysteries of T206museum and OM black overprint backs

[rdwyer]

Here is the text from T206 museum:

"The owner purchased two of these packs from the previous owner who bought them from an unopened Piedmont packs find decades ago. The owner opened one of the lesser condition pack and unexpectedly pulling a T206 Jim McGinley from the pack (as picture shown below).

This pack has 12 cigarettes inside and was manufactured in Factory No. 25 of the 2nd Dist. of Virginia which (obviously) matches all the characteristic of tobacco packs that house T206 or T205 baseball cards.

Could this pack contain a gem mint Honus Wagner that could grade better than a PSA-8? Could the misspelled "Magie" reside inside? Could Plank lie quietly slumbering? How about a mint green background Cobb? Or a gem mint T206 common that could easily sold for more than the price of the pack.

Despite the fact that a few collectors believe Piedmont pack manufactured by "Liggett & Myers" were issued after 1911 and believe T206s can only be pulled from 10 cigarettes style tobacco packs, what we have here definitely disprove those "theories". These tobacco packs were manufactured a hundred year ago and there were no precise records dating these packs. All those "theories" were just speculation and much is not known with certainty about tobacco packs. However, we have solid proves to support the Piedmont pack that offering here do enclose a tobacco card since the date it was manufactured.

This Piedmont pack is the finest known to exist and has been graded a GAI-9.5 GEM-MINT and guaranteed unopened. Wax wrapper seals are 100% intact. GAI labeled the pack as "1909-1919 Piedmont Baseball Tobacco Pack". GAI guaranteed this Piedmont pack is unopened and untampered with. The owner GUARANTEED this pack contains a T206 or T205 baseball card. If you wish to experience pulling a tobacco baseball card from a hundred year old unopened tobacco pack then this is your chance (possibly the only chance).

There is a similar opened Piedmont pack with T206 Herman Armbruster enclosed sold in Robert Edward Auctions. Please refer to "1910 Piedmont Pack with T206 Card Enclosed!"

Price: $30,000

"The Owner" is not clearly identified.
Jon: The card was inserted somewhere after the 1990's. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Pat Chan that did it.
