Large bordered American Beauty

Nice Iron Man collection Pete.

As for the American Beauty pack "myth", I've owned (and still own) American Beauty cigarette boxes from a few different years, including 1905, 1909 and 1910. I can unequivocally say that all of the boxes I have ever owned were not any narrower than the other brands unsed to distribute T206 cards (i.e., Sweet Caporal, Piedmont, Old Mill, Sovereign, etc).

Nice cards everyone, and thanks Jon, I thought that "myth" was incorrect.

A couple side-by-side for comparison.

Leifield and Miller both look relatively normal, width-wise.



While these 460 Subjects seem to be of the narrower persuasion

I wonder if the AB sizing has to do with the particular series. 350 vs 460. bordered or not.

Here's a link to a recent thread that tangented onto this topic. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=131752 Within is also a link to a prior Net54 thread further delving into the reason ABs may or may not have been cut thin.

Thanks,
