T206 Honus Wagner with Chesterfield back? :)

Posted By: <b>mj</b><p>I saw that lol I have it saved in my ebay search simply out of curiosity of which smarties out there actually THINK this thing has even the remotest possibilities of having a card in it hahaha I got a pretty good chuckle when I saw it.<br><br>Reminds me of a previous post I had made where the lot went up to, I think around $700, for 3 examples of clear reprints of wagner, mcgraw, and speaks....I was cracking up but shaking my head at the same time <img src="/images/sad.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="sad.gif">

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Chesterfield cigarettes were first manufactured and sold in 1883 by the Drummond Tobacco in St. Louis. Then<br> the American Tobacco Co. (ATC) acquired Drummond (circa 1910) and they shortened it to DRUM.<br><br>Anyhow, the Chesterfield brand was renewed when ATC was divested in 1911 and a lot of their Cigarette pro-<br>duction was transferred to the L&amp;M plant in Durham, NC (Factory 42).<br><br>Therefore, there is no way a T206 Honus Wagner would be found in a Chesterfield pack......all T206 Wagner <br>cards were inserted in Piedmont or Sweet Caporal packs (Factory 25 or 30).<br><br>The 1909 stamp was applied to T-packs for several years after 1909.<br><br><br>TED Z<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Richard Dwyer</b><p>There's a possibility there's a T206 card in every pack this dude sells. If you read the descriptions of all the packs he's sold, you'll see that he overhypes everyone of them. Haven't seen one pack yet that he sold, was authentic. The tax stamp shows overprinting with 1917. I believe this dude knows what he's selling is bogus.<br><br>edited to add: It's extremely funny that this guy thinks there might be a chance of a &quot;card&quot; T206 era.
