Hi again, and thanks for all past info, makes it so much easier to sell and to reach the right buyer when I actually have a clue as to what I am selling!

Here are three cards, one of which, the trade card, is the funniest tobacco card I've ever seen.

I'd love any info on the three. hookinfoul on eBay Sports memorabilia board told me that the Spanish Four is catalog # N581 Other than that, I am ignorant as to dates, etc.

My best guess for the 159. Dryden is N145. The cards generally measure 1 3/8 x 2 5/8, were distributed w/ Duke's Cameo Cigarettes among others, a number of substyles /wording, blank backed and most are numbered. Over 2,000 cards in the Series and very inexpensive cards. However, this is just my best guess :-o

Thanks,
David

N581 = Spanish Four

The American Tobacco Cards -Price Guide and Checklist- (ISBN 0-930625-23-4) is a pretty good resource to locate this type of information.
