Jon CanfieldJust to add a little bit to this post, I just sold this exact same style pack, same tax stamp etc which was absolutely unopened on my website for $200.00.

Also, the unopened Drum tobacco pouch that is for sale for $11,500 will absolutely not have cards inside as the cards came in cigarette packs, not pouches.
Lastly, I can't figure out for the life of me who at GAI grades these packs. Without question, they have little knowledge on cigarette packs and frankly, not too much common sense either. For example, the 10-count cigarette pack linked above by Richard is described as GAI being from 1909-1911. Now, there is a clear 1910 tax stamp on the pack and the pack clearly states L&M at the bottom. So, I would love for someone at GAI to explain to me how this pack could possibly be from 1909 or 1910? While I can't tell if there is an overprint on the pack, a proper date would be 1911-1917.
