Yankee Girl Tobacco...baseball card inserts?
 

Posted By: <b>chris</b><p>I really enjoy the informative posts in this forum. Thanks to the members who have kindly helped to educate collectors such as myself who have/are migrating from collecting memorabilia into older card issues. <br><br>I recently purchased an &quot;Old Judge&quot; cigar box that has no affiliation with the OJ tobacco cards unfortunatley, and I follow that blunder, albeit with some trepidation...with another Tobacco-related purchase that I would love some info on. It is a Yankee Girl tobacco box just the like large box pictured in the Hunt Auction listing link below.<br><br>(<a href="http://www.huntauctions.com/online/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=24&amp;lot_num=408&amp ;lot_qual" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.huntauctions.com/online/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=24&amp;lot_num=408&amp ;lot_qual</a>=)<br><br>Did this brand carry a baseball card insert? I noticed that the collection DNS via the Hunt Auction and would guess that the collecting interest may be limited to tobacco collectors only perhaps? As it was a $2 junk-sale buy, I am not worried about recouping costs.<br><br>Thanks!

The cello is relatively common and usually fodder for the paper-sack crowd interested in late 30's and 40's - figure 25.00. The most unusal item is the small clam shell(?). Never seen one. There's also some paper &quot;tags&quot; that wrapped the package on the market - also N/O stock - surprised they weren't in the lot <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif"><br><br>edited to add - oh yeah. There are sealed plugs in the marketplace as well......

Posted By: <b>1880nonsports</b><p>mean to disparage any aspect of the item(s) in terms of a what someone should collect or how they should go about it. My first post should have included such a message. The image is fairly striking and it's not &quot;new&quot; - collect what you like. Just showing where in the hierarchy others percieve it and it's availability. I have a few such visually striking but not rare items in my displays of tobacco as art (mostly card related and some baseball).

Posted By: <b>chris</b><p>jon...I look forward to reviwing your sight...thanks!<br><br>1880...pls, no worries. I appreciate the items found tobacco collecting genre and have a fondness for old paper, boxes etc. My true love is collecting baseball however, and I am pleased to understand that the Yankee Girl box is actually outside of that vein.<br><br>Great forum. Great assistance! chris
