tobacco packs that contain T206s

[chriskim]

Simple Google search can easily find out what type of Piedmont pack might contain t206 or stories of people pulling t206s out of Piedmont packs.

However, I could not find a single article of people pulling t206 from Sweet Caporal pack. Why? Is that because Sweet Caporal has all diff factory num, dist etc and no one 100% certain how a correct t206 era SC pack would look like? Does anyone has pics of Sweet Caporal packs that have all the correct tax stamp, factory, dist, tax date overprint etc? Or heard or have any articles of people pulling t206 from Sweet Caporal packs?

The following are a few Piedmont pack articles that I found but I found none for Sweet Caporal.

has anyone here on the board ever pulled a card from a pack?

I bought an unopened pack, paid $1k on eBay on the condition there was a card in it. . I had an x-ray done on it. Shared the results w/ Jon and close-ups of the pack info band. Jon determined it wasn't a pack with a card in it. was able to get my $$$ refunded.

I kinda remember a partial case if piedmont packs guaranteed to have cards in them for sale...likely this was the early 90’s. If my memory serves me they were selling for like 8k/pack.

Do u mind to share pics of how those x-ray turned out? I thought x-ray would pass thru paper and wouldn't be able to verify whether there's cardboard inside and probably can only verify there's any unusual spaces between edges of the box and spaces between those cigarettes.

Wow.. That Stephens was pulled from that pack? Nice!

[Marslife]

No sorry Greg, pack was empty when I bought it, i just stuck him in there to display in my office!

I can only wish to pull a card from a pack someday :-)

To stick with the theme, here is an Obak with its original card.
