Happy Thanksgiving All!

Looking for a bit of feedback as I am no expert. I bought this from eBay from someone who had four of them. I read somewhere you could X-ray it to see if a card was in there. I did that but it looks to small to be a card - if the
X-ray idea even works.

Is this a legit pack that could hold a t206? The seller said I could return no problem if I wanted.

I paid $750.

It is extremely unlikely this would have a card inside. The tax stamp is incorrect to be from the 1909-1911 period, and instead dates much later than that (1918-1920s). I see there is red overprinting on the tax stamp; is there a date printed there?

I was hoping to get your feedback, Jon as I’ve spent a couple hours reading your website - thank you for putting it together.

The red is very difficult to make out. Here is a close up picture of it.

Looks to me like 1925 printed in red. Just a guess.

Yeah, I was thinking 1922 in red there. But it's definitely 20s.

The overprinting on this tax stamp would be post 1920's. More info here on tax stamps:

Thank you all for you input. Just contacted kanyetdo (his eBay name) who I bought it from and he is all good refunding my purchase price. He said his father was a big sports card collector and these packs were from his collection.

Happy to help. The pack is still collectible and the same size and style of T206 packs. However, if you want one from the correct time period, this one is not it.

1922 makes sense on the date BTW.

They are still nice ancillary items, to the exact dated ones, when they are collected for what they are. When I was doing the "had to have one of each" I remember having a lot of different items surrounding the one(s) as the main focus. But if they are acquired at a premium for being the correct year then that isn't so good. Glad the seller is making good on the situation.

I presume this was posted in jest, but I'd like to know for real. Ironic, considering I'm a non-smoker.

Default What's the value

Given that this pack is a '20's example, what's the value of a T206 era pack? Thanks.

Also as a former smoker, cigarettes last about six month before they start to go stale. The these 100 year old cigarettes would be saw-dust.

Default well as a tobacco related collector

I will admit to taking a puff on a 1920's smoke - not so good :-) I have some from 1879 - any interest?

BTW - Just FYI - I believe those packs you have were issued during the period of their "Ask Dad" campaign...…..
