Wha' Dat?

I don't pretend to be all-knowing, but I have never seen this issue before. Is it truly an uncatalogued tobacco era card? Or is it bogus?http://www.ebay.com/itm/circa-1910-J...item337d7bb47f

I had pictures of the Bliss and Chance cards in my catalog files for many years, but never learned anything concrete about them.

Bob, so if they are not legitimate to the period then they are at least as old as the pictures in your files. I am amazed that there could still be a semi-steady stream of un-catalogued cards at this late date.

Well it seems that a couple folks woke up (because of this thread?) It was sitting @ $18 and some change. I put a "why not" bid and got the lead with $19. As I type this, two bidders (neither is the former high bidder) have it up to $41.

Yikes! It brought in $330.00!

Outing this auction probably helped the price. I was going to have a go at it before it was put on the board. I blew it off once it was. Such is life...

$41

It's not every day that you get a Chance for Bliss.

Don't worry. Be happy.

I was willing to take a $20 Chance at Bliss but for $40+, I'll take a Chance at life with no Bliss....Dang...It's up to $67

Mike, was your question so important that you couldn't wait until the auction was over?

Rick, my original question was driven by my never having seen the card type before. I am sorry if I "outted" an auction that you were involved in. It would have been hard to get armed with information to help me decide to bid or not....after it closed
