No matter the condition, BL460s are the most beautiful back brand to me....

Sort of on point... Broadleaf is one of the MOST difficult cigarette packs to find. I have only seen one that dated to 1910, and about 5 in total dating to any time frame (they were made up until 1915 or so).

Your......"Broadleaf is one of the MOST difficult cigarette packs to find."

Raises an interesting point. Can you please rank the various T206 related packs as a function of their scarcity ?

And, does their scarcity ranking match their T206 card's scarcity ?


Thanks,

Not too surprising that the T-brand packs and T206 backs track together.

Thanks very much Jon,

Jon, ole friend,
i'm sitting here admiring my T206 packs: AB,Tolstoi,OM, PB,EPDG,SC, Pied,
and even a drum pouch---but no EASIER Sovereign.
are you sure the old sovereign(with a T206 era date) is EASIER?
I'm sure lovin' the unopened Polar Bear--thanks again.

great thread, as always Ted et al
best,

Very interesting T206 T-brand pack collection. Next to Jon's collection, your's is quite impressive.

I, too, would like to have a SOVEREIGN pack to complement my all-SOVEREIGN T206 set.

Barry - I'm sure... sometimes it is just luck of the draw as to what is available for sale. I actually know of a gentleman who has three cases of 1910 era Sovereign cigarette packs (unfortunately wrong factory/district # for cards). I have probably seen 100 or more sovereign packs over time. In that same time frame, I have seen maybe 15-20 ABs, 15-20 OMs, etc.
