The story is that some incorrectly thought Scrapps was a brand of tobacco, and the cards
were sometimes listed as Scrapps Tobacco. They aren't a tobacco issue. Scrap
is a type of tobacco used to make cigarettes-- which may have caused the initial
confusion. In short, the eBay scap tobacco bag (which once contained scrap tobacco)
has nothing to do with the Scrapp baseball cards-- any more than a vintage box of
corn cobbs has anything to do with the T206 Ty Cobb. Yes, they both have the word
cobb in the name, but otherwise they are unrelated.
