It's 1911, and you go to the corner store to buy a pack of your favorite smokes-Sweet Caporals. You're also kind of into the white bordered baseball cards, and want to add to your collection. You buy a pack, and doh!, it's a gold bordered card--cool but not what you're after. Buy another pack--Doh!! it's a pin with a baseball player on it-careful kid, you'll put your eye out. One more time--Doh, its a disk with a picture of a domino on one side.
As I understand it, all of these were inserted in Sweet Cap packs in 1911. Were the packs marked, sized or in any any way differentiated so that you knew what was going to be inside?
